[MTD] mtdchar.c: Fix regression in MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl()
The MEMGETREGIONINFO ioctl() in mtdchar.c was clobbering user memory by overwriting more than intended, due the size of struct mtd_erase_region_info changing in commit 0ecbc81adfcb9f15f86b05ff576b342ce81bbef8 ('Support for auto locking flash on power up'). Fix avoids this by copying struct members one by one with put_user(), as there is no longer a convenient struct to use the size of as the length argument to copy_to_user().
