[U-Boot] [PATCH] FIX: fat: Provide correct return code from disk_{read|write} to upper layers

It is very common that FAT code is using following pattern:
if (disk_{read|write}() < 0)
        return -1;

Up till now the above code was dead, since disk_{read|write) could only
return value >= 0.
As a result some errors from medium layer (i.e. eMMC/SD) were not caught.

The above behavior was caused by block_{read|write|erase} declared at
struct block_dev_desc (@part.h). It returns unsigned long, where 0
indicates error and > 0 indicates that medium operation was correct.

This patch as error regards 0 returned from block_{read|write|erase}
when nr_blocks is grater than zero. Read/Write operation with nr_blocks=0
should return 0 and hence is not considered as an error.
