Erase errors such as:
"Newly-erased block contained word 0xa4ef223e at offset 0x0296a014"
and failure to write the clean marker,
moves the offending erase block to erasing list before calling
jffs2_erase_failed(). This is bad as jffs2_erase_failed() will
also move the block to the bad_list, but is now moving the
wrong block, causing FS corruption.
