Revert "niu: fix missing checks of niu_pci_eeprom_read"

commit 7930742d6a0ff091c85b92ef4e076432d8d8cb79 upstream.

This reverts commit 26fd962bde0b15e54234fe762d86bc0349df1de4.

Because of recent interactions with developers from @umn.edu, all
commits from them have been recently re-reviewed to ensure if they were
correct or not.

Upon review, this commit was found to be incorrect for the reasons
below, so it must be reverted.  It will be fixed up "correctly" in a
later kernel change.

The change here was incorrect.  While it is nice to check if
niu_pci_eeprom_read() succeeded or not when using the data, any error
that might have happened was not propagated upwards properly, causing
the kernel to assume that these reads were successful, which results in
invalid data in the buffer that was to contain the successfully read
data.
