Revert "UBI: use mtd->writebufsize to set minimal I/O unit size"

This reverts commit a121f643993474548fe98144514c50dd4f3dbe76.

Unfortunately, this commit breaks UBIFS backward compatibility and
makes new UBIFS refuse older UBIFS-formatted media:

UBIFS error: validate_sb: min. I/O unit mismatch: 8 in superblock, 64 real

Thus, we have to revert this patch and work on a better solution.

-         * for these purposes, not @mtd->writesize. At the moment this does not
-         * matter for NAND, because currently @mtd->writebufsize is equivalent to
-         * @mtd->writesize for all NANDs. However, some CFI NOR flashes may
-         * have @mtd->writebufsize which is multiple of @mtd->writesize.
-         *
-         * The reason we use @mtd->writebufsize for @ubi->min_io_size is that
-         * UBI and UBIFS recovery algorithms rely on the fact that if there was
-         * an unclean power cut, then we can find offset of the last corrupted
-         * node, align the offset to @ubi->min_io_size, read the rest of the
-         * eraseblock starting from this offset, and check whether there are
-         * only 0xFF bytes. If yes, then we are probably dealing with a
-         * corruption caused by a power cut, if not, then this is probably some
-         * severe corruption.
-         *
-         * Thus, we have to use the maximum write unit size of the flash, which
-         * is @mtd->writebufsize, because @mtd->writesize is the minimum write
-         * size, not the maximum.
