[PATCH] mtd: spinand: cache the last read page to avoid redundant SPI operations

[fzz]

When squashfs reads files through mtdblock, the mtdblock layer
splits I/O into 512-byte sectors. For a 4K-page SPI NAND, this
means reading the same page 8 times (4096 / 512), generating 7x
redundant SPI read-from-cache operations. Each such operation
involves a full SPI bus transaction, significantly slowing down
boot time and file access.

Cache the last successfully read page in spinand_device to avoid
these redundant operations. When the same {target, eraseblock,
page} is requested consecutively, the data is served directly
from the bounce buffer (databuf) via memcpy, skipping the SPI
transaction entirely.

The cache is invalidated on write and erase operations. RAW reads,
OOB reads, and continuous reads are excluded from caching to
maintain correctness.
