I always go nuts when I start an MTD test on a slow device and have to
wait forever until it finishes. From the debug output I already know
what the issue is but I have to wait or reset the board hard. Resetting
is often not an option (remote access, you don't want lose the current
state, etc...).
The solution is easy, check for pending signals at key positions in the
code. Using that one can even stop a test by pressing CTRL-C as
insmod/modprobe have SIGINT pending.

This introduces the helper functions which can be used by several
mtd/tests modules.
The following three functions are used all over the test modules.
- mtdtest_erase_eraseblock()
- mtdtest_scan_for_bad_eraseblocks()
- mtdtest_erase_good_eraseblocks()
The following are wrapper functions for mtd_read() and mtd_write()
which can simplify the return value check.
- mtdtest_read()
- mtdtest_write()
All helpers are put into a single .c file and it will be linked to
every test module later. The code will actually be copied to every
test module, but it is fine for our small test infrastructure.
