We don't need any more badly-done local hacks (it's not enough to just check the in-band data bytes; you have to check the spare area too).

Currently empty page bit flips are not corrected and report 0 errors. If there happens to be a bit flip, this will cause UBIFS to fail to mount with a "corruption in empty space" error. The only way to recover from this is to reflash the NAND partition. This changes the empty page handling to count the number of bit flips and correct them if they are under or equal to the ECC strength. UBI will then resolve the mounting error without requiring a reflash.
