[MTD] Use variable blksize for mtdblock

Even though we can assign the blksize, some codes are hard-coded.
It makes the problem, if you change the blksize.
Also others mtd user have same problem.

If we increase the blksize to PAGE_SIZE, it has better performance than before
Of course, we can use it as before as SECTOR_SIZE

Here's performance gain with same configuration and hardware.

* blksize = 4096
/ # time dd if=/dev/mtdblock3 of=/dev/null
32768+0 records in
32768+0 records out
real    0m 1.80s
user    0m 0.05s
sys     0m 0.55s

* blksize = 512
/ # time dd if=/dev/mtdblock3 of=/dev/null
32768+0 records in
32768+0 records out
real    0m 2.07s
user    0m 0.06s
sys     0m 0.38s
