Subject: [PATCH] mtd: nand: check ecc->total sanity in nand_scan_tail

Drivers are supposed to set correct ecc->{size,strength,bytes} before
calling nand_scan_tail(), but it does not complain about ecc->total
bigger than oobsize.

In this case, chip->scan_bbt() crashes due to memory corruption, but
it is hard to debug.  It would be kind to fail it earlier with a clear
message.

I was actually hit by this case.

I wasted half a day until I figured out my coding mistake in my
Denali driver.  It will be helpful to check this in NAND core.
