mtd: spi-nor: fix page program issue when using spi-mem driver

Some SPI controllers can't write nor->page_size bytes in a single step
because their TX FIFO is too small, but when that happens we should
make sure a WRITE_EN command before each write access and READ_SR command
after each write access is issued.

We should allow nor->write() to return a size that is smaller than the
requested write size to gracefully handle this case.

Also, the spi_nor_write_data() should return the actual number of bytes
that were written during the spi_mem_exec_op() operation.

This patch is a combination of two commits backported from kernel:

  commit 630d6bd8a3b4 ("mtd: spi-nor: Support controllers with limit ...")
  commit 3baa8ec88c2f ("mtd: devices: m25p80: Make sure WRITE_EN is ...")
