mtd: Fix the behavior of OTP write if there is not enough room for data

If a write to one time programmable memory (OTP) hits the end of this
memory area, no more data can be written. The count variable in
mtdchar_write() in drivers/mtd/mtdchar.c is not decreased anymore.
We are trapped in the loop forever, mtdchar_write() will never return
in this case.

The desired behavior of a write in such a case is described in [1]:
- Try to write as much data as possible, truncate the write to fit into
  the available memory and return the number of bytes that actually
  have been written.
- If no data could be written at all, return -ENOSPC.

This patch fixes the behavior of OTP write if there is not enough space
for all data:

1) mtd_write_user_prot_reg() in drivers/mtd/mtdcore.c is modified to
   return -ENOSPC if no data could be written at all.
2) mtdchar_write() is modified to handle -ENOSPC correctly. Exit if a
   write returned -ENOSPC and yield the correct return value, either
   then number of bytes that could be written, or -ENOSPC, if no data
   could be written at all.

Furthermore the patch harmonizes the behavior of the OTP memory write
in drivers/mtd/devices/mtd_dataflash.c with the other implementations
and the requirements from [1]. Instead of returning -EINVAL if the data
does not fit into the OTP memory, we try to write as much data as
possible/truncate the write.
