fix unnecessarily slow writing of EMMC partitions

These were attempts to write partitions "conservatively" in hopes of
fixing the problems with writing the radio partition on Nexus 4.  They
didn't work (a kernel patch was needed), but got left in.  They make
writing of partitions unnecessarily slow (ie, we really shouldn't need
to sync() after every 4kb).  Roll back most of them, but leave the
verification read-back in.
