Subject: [PATCH 4.2.y-ckt 048/218] mtd: onenand: fix deadlock in onenand_block_markbad

4.2.8-ckt7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Aaro Koskinen <aaro.koskinen@....fi>

commit 5e64c29e98bfbba1b527b0a164f9493f3db9e8cb upstream.

Commit 5942ddbc500d ("mtd: introduce mtd_block_markbad interface")
incorrectly changed onenand_block_markbad() to call mtd_block_markbad
instead of onenand_chip's block_markbad function. As a result the function
will now recurse and deadlock. Fix by reverting the change.

Fixes: 5942ddbc500d ("mtd: introduce mtd_block_markbad interface")
