[PATCH mtd-utils] nand-utils: Fix integer overflow in nandflipbits.c

Report of the static analyzer:
The value of an arithmetic expression 'page * (mtd.min_io_size + mtd.oob_size)' is a subject to overflow because its operands are not cast to a larger data type before performing arithmetic

Corrections explained:
Casting bit_to_flip->block to unsigned long long expands the range of values ​​and allows the result of the multiplication to be calculated in a wider data type.
The arithmetic is performed in a safe range, preventing overflow.
Sum + blkoffs is now also safe, since the result of the expression is already calculated in unsigned long long.

Triggers found by static analyzer Svace.
