[flash] Fixes to host_gnt_err handling for more graceful handling

- currently if the conditions to host_gnt_err trigger, the flash controller
  will most definitely lock-up.  While this is somewhat acceptable
  behvaior since thse conditions occur only when attacked, it is still a
  little difficult for software to use.

- This commit massages the logic around host_gnt_err to make it slightly
  more recoverable.  It is not 100% proof, since fault attacks in certain
  parts of the logic will just be unrecoverable.

- Specifically, do not use ctrl_fsm_idle to qualify host returns, instead
  use host_outstanding.  This eliminates a single point of failure that
  could lead to lock-ups.

- Better handling for host grants to info partitions.  When such an error
  occurs, future host transactions are not accepted until the existing
  pipeline of reads are fully flushed.  This ensures we get back to a clean
  state.
