[PATCH] cmd: mtd: check if a block has to be skipped or erased

As reported by patch [1], the `mtd erase' command should not erase bad
blocks.
To force bad block erasing you have to use the `mtd erase.dontskipbad'
command.

This patch tries to fix the same issue without modifying code taken
from the linux kernel, in order to make further upgrades easier.
