Subject: [PATCH] mtd: properly check all write ioctls for permissions

When doing a "write" ioctl call, properly check that we have permissions
to do so before copying anything from userspace or anything else so we
can "fail fast".  This includes also covering the MEMWRITE ioctl which
previously missed checking for this.
