Revert "niu: fix missing checks of niu_pci_eeprom_read"
This reverts commit 26fd962b. 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.
