Subject: [02/48] mtd: mtdoops: skip reading initially bad blocks

3.1-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Roman Tereshonkov <roman.tereshonkov@...ia.com>

commit 3538c56329936c78f7d356889908790006d0124c upstream.

Use block_isbad to check and skip the bad blocks reading.
This will allow to get rid of the read errors if bad blocks
are present initially.
