mtd: mtdpart: fix uninitialized erasesize on MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN error path

When parsing partition layouts, if a partition requested with
MTDPART_OFS_RETAIN runs out of space, the allocator jumps directly
to 'out_register' to preserve partition numbering.

However, this jump bypasses child->erasesize initialization, leaving
it at zero. When add_mtd_device() is later called on this child, the
registration fails and triggers a WARN_ON() due to the zero ->erasesize.

Fix this by zeroing out child->part.offset and child->part.size, and
initializing child->erasesize to parent->erasesize. This is the exact
same pattern already used just a few lines below in the "out of reach"
error check (child->part.offset >= parent_size) to safely register a
disabled partition.
