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:

	The crash log is fetched from Fabio's patch. thanks to Fabio's hard work.

v3 --> v4:
    [1] add credit to Fabio.

v2 --> v3:
    [1] free the verify_buf when we exit.

v1 --> v2:
    [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.
