[MTD] mtdchar.c: ioctl always returns 0 as size written for ppc64
"include/linux/mtd/mtd.h" declares "mtd_oob_ops.retlen" as size_t, which
is 64 bits on targets with a 64 bit addressing. The MEMWRITEOOB ioctl
calls copy_to_user() to write it back to "mtd_oob_buf.length", which is
declared in "include/linux/mtd-abi.h" as uint32_t. Since powerpc is a
big endian architecture, this only copies the upper 32 bits of the
address, which is always 0.
