MLK-12693-1 nand: mxs: fix the bitflips for erased page when uncorrectable error

This patch is porting from linux:
http://git.freescale.com/git/cgit.cgi/imx/linux-2.6-imx.git/commit/?h=imx_4.1.15_1.0.0_ga&id=3d42fcece496224fde59f9343763fb2dfc5b0768

We may meet the bitflips in reading an erased page(contains all 0xFF),
this may causes the UBIFS corrupt, please see the log from Elie:

This patch does a check for the uncorrectable failure in the following steps:

   [0] set the threshold.
       The threshold is set based on the truth:
       "A single 0 bit will lead to gf_len(13 or 14) bits 0 after the BCH
        do the ECC."

        For the sake of safe, we will set the threshold with half the gf_len, and
        do not make it bigger the ECC strength.

   [1] count the bitflips of the current ECC chunk, assume it is N.

   [2] if the (N <= threshold) is true, we continue to read out the page with
       ECC disabled. and we count the bitflips again, assume it is N2.
       (We read out the whole page, not just a chunk, this makes the check
        more strictly, and make the code more simple.)

   [3] if the (N2 <= threshold) is true again, we can regard this is a erased
       page. This is because a real erased page is full of 0xFF(maybe also has
       several bitflips), while a page contains the 0xFF data will definitely
       has many bitflips in the ECC parity areas.

   [4] if the [3] fails, we can regard this is a page filled with the '0xFF'
       data.
