This will speed up mount greatly for users of point/unpoint method
like cfi_cmdset_0001. Please Apply.

Subject: [PATCH] Speed up mount for cfi_cmdset_0001 users
Remove excessive scanning of empty flash after a clean
marker for users of the point/unpoint method. cfi_cmdset_0001
uses point/unpoint by default iff flash mapping is linear.
The speedup is several orders of magnitude if FS is less than
half full.
