mtd: gpmi: fix the NULL pointer 

The imx23 board will check the fingerprint, so it will call the
mx23_check_transcription_stamp. This function will use @chip->buffers->databuf
as its buffer which is allocated in the nand_scan_tail().

Unfortunately, the mx23_check_transcription_stamp is called before the
nand_scan_tail(). So we will meet a NULL pointer bug:

This patch rearrange the init procedure:
   Set the NAND_SKIP_BBTSCAN to skip the nand scan firstly, and after we
   set the proper settings, we will call the chip->scan_bbt() manually.
