[PATCH V2] mtd: rawnand: qcom: fix memory corruption that causes panic

From: Md Sadre Alam

This patch fixes a memory corruption that occurred in the
nand_scan() path for Hynix nand device.

On boot, for Hynix nand device will panic at a weird place:

The problem is that the nand_scan()'s qcom_nand_attach_chip callback
is updating the nandc->max_cwperpage from 1 to 4.This causes the
sg_init_table of clear_bam_transaction() in the driver's
qcom_nandc_command() to memset much more than what was initially
allocated by alloc_bam_transaction().

This patch will update nandc->max_cwperpage 1 to 4 after nand_scan()
returns, and remove updating nandc->max_cwperpage from
qcom_nand_attach_chip call back.

[V2]
* Freed previously alloacted memory for bam txn before updating
max_cwperpage inside qcom_nand_attach_chip().
* Moved alloc_bam_transaction() inside qcom_nand_attach_chip().
after upding max_cwperpage 4 or 8 based on page size.
