mtd: nand: differentiate 1- vs. 2-byte writes when marking bad blocks

Browse Source 
It seems that we have developed a bad-block-marking "feature" out of
pure laziness:

  "We write two bytes per location, so we dont have to mess with 16 bit
  access."

It's relatively simple to write a 1 byte at a time on x8 devices and 2
bytes at a time on x16 devices, so let's do it.
