drivers/ssb/sdio: Don't overwrite const buffer if block_write fails

maintainerPATCH 1/1 drivers/ssb/sdio: Don't overwrite const buffer if block_write fails
It doesn't make sense to clobber the const driver-side buffer, if a write-to-device attempt failed. All other SSB variants (PCI, PCMCIA and SoC) also don't corrupt the buffer on any failure in block_write. Therefore, remove this memset from the SDIO variant.
---
This memset has been introduced by the original patch that added SDIO support to SSB:24ea602e183ca
Better late than never.
This change is only build tested, because I don't own the hardware. But to me this change looks reasonable.
