[MTD] [NAND] fix possible Ooops in rfc_from4
I found this while I was looking how the rs_lib is working. The rs_decoder is initialized _after_ the nand core code read the BBT table and _after_ the partition table has been added. The driver has a private BBT description which is in located in flash data so we Ooops if there is a bit flip _or_ if a bit flips while reading the partition table. This patch moves the initialization of the rs_lib before the first possible access by nand core.
