Revert "UBI: use mtd->writebufsize to set minimal I/O unit size"
This reverts commit a121f643993474548fe98144514c50dd4f3dbe76.
Unfortunately, this commit breaks UBIFS backward compatibility and
makes new UBIFS refuse older UBIFS-formatted media:
UBIFS error: validate_sb: min. I/O unit mismatch: 8 in superblock, 64 real
Thus, we have to revert this patch and work on a better solution.
