mtd: ABI documentation: clarification of bitflip_threshold
The -EUCLEAN return value applies to mtd_read_oob() as well as mtd_read(), but
only mtd_read() was mentioned in the blurd on bitflip_threshold in the ABI
documentation.

Description:
This allows the user to examine and adjust the criteria by which
- mtd returns -EUCLEAN from mtd_read(). If the maximum number of
- bit errors that were corrected on any single region comprising
- an ecc step (as reported by the driver) equals or exceeds this
- value, -EUCLEAN is returned. Otherwise, absent an error, 0 is
- returned. Higher layers (e.g., UBI) use this return code as an
- indication that an erase block may be degrading and should be
- scrutinized as a candidate for being marked as bad.

Conversely, if bitflip_threshold is zero, -EUCLEAN is always
returned, absent a hard error.
