[U-Boot] [PATCH 2/4 v2] cmd: mtd: Don't abort erase operation when a bad block is detected

[Stefan Roese]

It was noticed, that the erase command (mtd erase spi-nand0) aborts upon
the first bad block. With this change, bad blocks are now skipped and
the erase operation will continue.

v2: 
- Use an U-Boot "mtd" command specific option to skip the bad block
  upon erase so that other MTD users are not affected by this change
