[PATCH 3/6] jffs2: add write verification to direct page writes in flash_writev

jffs2_flash_writev() performs writes in three phases: phase 1 fills
the write buffer and flushes it when full, phase 2 writes full pages
directly via mtd_write() bypassing the buffer, and phase 3 fills the
remaining data into the write buffer.

Phases 1 and 3 both invoke __jffs2_flush_wbuf() when the buffer is
full, which includes write-back verification when
CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WBUF_VERIFY is enabled. However phase 2, which
handles the bulk of the write data, calls mtd_write() directly
without any verification.

Phase 2 direct writes may span multiple wbuf_pagesize pages. Extend
jffs2_verify_write() with a len parameter to specify the data length
to verify, and add the verification call after the phase 2
mtd_write() to cover this gap.
