mtd: Introduce an expert mode for forensics and debugging purposes
When developping NAND controller drivers or when debugging filesystem
corruptions, it is quite common to need hacking locally into the
MTD/NAND core in order to get access to the content of the bad
blocks. Instead of having multiple implementations out there let's
provide a simple yet effective specific MTD-wide debugfs entry to fully
disable these checks on purpose.
A warning is added to inform the user when this mode gets enabled.
