The bug affects users ionly at the time when they try to update NVM, and
only F/W versions that generate errors while nvmupdate. For example X710DA2
with 0x8000ECB7 F/W is affected, but there are probably more...

After 230f3d53a547 patch, which should only replace F/W specific error codes
into Linux kernel generic, all I/O errors started to be converted into EAGAIN
which leads nvmupdate to retry until it timeout so nvmupdate sometimes
fails after more than 20 minutes in the middle of NVM update,
so NVM becomes corrupted.

Remove wrong EIO to EGAIN conversion and pass all errors as is.

Fixes: 230f3d53a547 ("i40e: remove i40e_status")
