[PATCH 1/2] nand: nand-mxs: Fix marking BBT blocks as bad

Currently the nand-mxs driver uses a hook function to the
mtd->_block_markbad function to allow write access to the OOB bytes only
if it is to mark a block as bad.

This hook is not called when a Bad Block Table block is marked bad since
this routine directly calls nand_markbad_bbm.

The chip->legacy.block_markbad hook gives a driver the ability to
implement a custom block_markbad function. Since this is used by
nand_markbad_bbm, if it exists, replace the mtd->_block_markbad hook by
a chip->legacy.block_markbad function. The gpmi-nand Linux implementation
of this driver uses the same mechanism.

This fixes an issue where marking Bad Block Table blocks as bad fails
with:
	NXS NAND: Writing OOB isn't supported

Tested on PHYTEC phyCORE-i.MX 6Q.
