[MTD] [INFTL] Fix infinite loop in INFTL_foldchain
When iterating over a chain in reverse (oldest block first), this
patch correctly marks the PUtable[] entry of the second to last erase
block of a chain as BLOCK_NIL, regardless of whether or not it can
format the last block successfully. Before, the second to last block
was only marked as pointing to BLOCK_NIL if INFTL_formatblock()
succeeded on the last block of the chain, which could potentially
result in an infinite loop if the block was worn out and refused to
format.
