[PATCH 5/6] mtd: spi-nor: core; avoid odd length/address reads on 8D-8D-8D mode

On Octal DTR capable flashes like Micron Xcella reads cannot start or
end at an odd address in Octal DTR mode. Extra bytes need to be read at
the start or end to make sure both the start address and length remain
even.

To avoid allocating too much extra memory, thereby putting unnecessary
memory pressure on the system, the temporary buffer containing the extra
padding bytes is capped at PAGE_SIZE bytes. The rest of the 2-byte
aligned part should be read directly in the main buffer.
