[MTD] [NAND] atmel_nand speedup via {read,write}s{b,w}()

This uses __raw_{read,write}s{b,w}() primitives to access data on NAND
chips for more efficient I/O.

On an arm926 with memory clocked at 100 MHz, this reduced the elapsed time
for a 64 MiB read by 16%.  ("dd" /dev/mtd0 to /dev/null, with an 8-bit
NAND using hardware ECC and 128KiB blocksize.)

Also some minor section tweaks:

  - Use platform_driver_probe() so no pointer to probe() lingers
    after that code has been removed at run-time.

  - Use __exit and __exit_p so the remove() code will normally be
    removed by the linker.

Since these buffer read/write calls are new, this increases the runtime
code footprint (by 88 bytes on my build, after the section tweaks).
