libmtd: don't ignore "region index" parameter in mtd_regioninfo()
ioctl(MEMGETREGIONINFO) has one input parameter (regionindex) and three
output parameters (info about the erase region). There are two problems
in mtdinfo/libmtd here:
 1. mtdinfo.c doesn't initialize its region_info_user struct, instead
    passing uninitialized data to mtd_regioninfo()
 2. mtd_regioninfo() fails to utilize the 'regidx' parameter to fill out
    the regionindex parameter properly, so the garbage from mtdinfo.c is
    propagated to the ioctl()
This means that mtdinfo will continuously probe the same (possibly
out-of-range) erase region, instead of looping over the valid regions.
Let's fix this in the mtd_regioninfo() helper, and at the same time,
let's zero out the mtdinfo.c buffer, as an additional precaution to keep
from using uninitialized data.
Initial error report from Yang, when running "mtdinfo /dev/mtd0" on a
Cavium 6100 board:
