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

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:
| Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual
  address 00000070

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.
