Actually I don't like this patch ether.

The problem is that nand_erase_nand first takes the lock, and then calls
the ->block_bad.

I could make the ->block_bad always take the lock (and this will allow
using ->read_oob) by first checking that all erase blocks are good, and
then doing the erase.
This would change the behavior slightly (Now if you attempt to erase
several erase blocks and one of them is marked as bad, erase stops at
first bad block. With the change, erase will fail completely.
Is this ok?
