[PATCH] spl: spi: fix loss of spl_load() error on soft reset

When CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_SOFT_RESET is enabled, spi_nor_remove() is called
after spl_load() to switch the flash back to legacy SPI mode. However,
the return value of spi_nor_remove() unconditionally overwrites the
return value of spl_load(), discarding any load error.
Fix this by preserving the spl_load() error and only propagating the
spi_nor_remove() error as a fallback. Also log a message when
spi_nor_remove() fails, since in the case where spl_load() already
failed its error would otherwise be silently discarded.
