[Skiboot] [PATCH] libflash: check ffs_part_info return value in ffs_init

Current build fail for me, with:

     CC  libffs.o
 ../../libflash/libffs.c: In function ‘ffs_init’:
 ../../libflash/libffs.c:149:8: error: ‘start’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
      rc = blocklevel_ecc_protect(bl, start, total_size);
         ^
 ../../libflash/libffs.c:149:8: error: ‘total_size’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
 ../../libflash/libffs.c:148:7: error: ‘ecc’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
     if (ecc) {
        ^
 cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

This is because we're not checking for the return value of
ffs_part_info, which may return with start/total_size/ecc uninitialised.
