Add NAND write verify support in gpmi-nand driver.

This patch fixes a kernel crash when we select
CONFIG_MTD_NAND_VERIFY_WRITE=y, and do some write tests:

change log:
    [1] use the mtd->writesize to allocate the verify buffer.
    [2] add new field `verify_buf` in gpmi_nand_data{}

    tested this patch on imx6q-arm2 board.
