[PATCH] mtd: nand: fixup "mtd: nand: erase block before marking bad"

The following commit had an incorrect solution:

   mtd: nand: erase block before marking bad
   commit ece080820c9dddf467b6da08a8bfbab66615a03b

When trying to erase a block before writing to its OOB marker, we erase
after we mark the memory BBT. This causes an error like this:

   nand_erase_nand: attempt to erase a bad block at page 0x00000000

This patch is a fixup that moves the erase code block to the correct
location.
