powerpc: Fix signedness bug in update_flash_db()
The "count < sizeof(struct os_area_db)" comparison is type promoted to size_t so negative values of "count" are treated as very high values and we accidentally return success instead of a negative error code. This doesn't really change runtime much but it fixes a static checker warning.
