mtdchar: prevent unbounded allocation in MEMWRITE ioctl

In the mtdchar_write_ioctl() function, memdup_user() is called with its
'len' parameter set to verbatim values provided by user space via a
struct mtd_write_req.  Both the 'len' and 'ooblen' fields of that
structure are 64-bit unsigned integers, which means the MEMWRITE ioctl
can trigger unbounded kernel memory allocation requests.

Fix by iterating over the buffers provided by user space in a loop,
processing at most mtd->erasesize bytes in each iteration.  Adopt some
checks from mtd_check_oob_ops() to retain backward user space
compatibility.
