[JFFS2] Optimise reading of eraseblock summary nodes

This improves the time to mount 512MiB of NAND flash on my OLPC prototype
by about 4%. We used to read the last page of the eraseblock twice -- once
to find the offset of the summary node, and again to actually _read_ the
summary node. Now we read the last page only once, and read more only if
we need to.

We also don't allocate a new buffer just for the summary code -- we use
the buffer which was already allocated for the scan. Better still, if the
'buffer' for the scan is actually just a pointer directly into NOR flash,
we use that too, avoiding the memcpy() which we used to do.
