This is just a cleanup, it doesn't fix any bugs. These functions all check retlen inconsistently and it generates a warning in Smatch (http://smatch.sf.net). If retlen were ever NULL it would cause an oops and the code has been this way since 2006 so someone would have complained. Also I looked at other places that implemented the mtd read and write functions and they dereference retlen without checking. I removed the checks.
