[PATCH v3] spl: allow board_spl_fit_post_load() to fail

On i.MX platforms board_spl_fit_post_load() can check the loaded
SPL image for authenticity using its HAB engine.  U-Boot's SPL
mechanism allows booting images from other sources as well, but
in the current setup the SPL would just hang if it encounters an
image that does not pass scrutiny.  Allowing the function to return
an error, allows the SPL to try booting from another source as a
fallback instead of ending up as a brick.

Changes in v3:
 - use EINVAL as return value to have a proper errno

Changes in v2:
 - set SPL_FIT_FOUND only after successful post load
