[PATCH] images: Revert "fix boot failures on NAND with small sub pages"

This reverts commit ee76bd11bbe7 ("images: fix boot failures on NAND with
small sub pages") which broke (besides telling otherwise in the commit
message) the boot after sysupgrade on some NOR based devices.

The NOR flash rootfs images stored in a sysupgrade.tar must end with the
JFFS2 marker. Otherwise, devices like OpenMesh A42/A62 are not able to
calculate the md5sum of the fixed squashfs part and store it inside the
u-boot-env.

But the commit ee76bd11bbe7 ("images: fix boot failures on NAND with small
sub pages") adds up to 1020 0x00 bytes after the 0xdead0de EOF marker. The
calculated md5sum will be wrong due do this change and u-boot will fail to
boot the newly flashed device with a message like:

  Validating MD5Sum of 'vmlinux'...
  Passed!
  Validating MD5Sum of 'rootfs'...
  Failed!

  Data validation failed!

I've originally submitted another hack on top of the original hack to avoid
this additional padding when the JFFS2 post-padding mark was detected.

https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3616

But I was not yet able to get feedback from the original author.
