EBH with OneNAND doesn't work

Thanks Christian, your patch helpt me to get JFFS2 working without
using too many printks.

Currently wbuf.c:jffs2_check_nand_cleanmarker_ebh() assumes the node header 
fits in the first free region.  The magic and node type would take 4 bytes.
If we have only 2 byte free regions available,  this is not enough
and the struct jffs2_unknown_node needs to be assembled.

I am using new helper function jffs2_copy_nand_fsdata(), from Forrest's code. 
Forrest assembled the longer EBH struct (28 bytes) from several free
regions. Similar assmebly is also needed for the struct unknown_node.

Optimally JFFS2 would use more free regions available at OOB. This would 
result fewer amount of OOBs being used less writing to OOBs.
