The H6/H616 variable protected-OOB implementation has three related
failure cases around its per-step user-data lengths.

First, propagate failures while allocating the per-step length array.
Then reserve an encodable four-byte first section for the bad block
marker and reject layouts which cannot provide it. Finally, replace the
per-write heap allocation used for BBM compensation with the
controller's bounded 32-byte stack buffer.

These fixes keep the calculated, advertised and programmed OOB layouts
consistent and prevent zero-sized sections from reaching the BBM path.
