[PATCH v2] mtd: nand: Add support to use nand_base poi databuf as bounce buffer

nand_base can be passed a kmap()'d buffers from highmem by
filesystems like jffs2. This results in failure to map the
physical address of the DMA buffer on various contoller
driver on different platforms. This change adds a chip option
to use preallocated databuf as bounce buffers used in
nand_do_read_ops() and nand_do_write_ops().
This allows for specific nand controller driver to set this
option as needed.

 * Fix bytes to write calculation in nand_do_write_ops
