Some ioctl's in UBI are enabled only when debugging is switched

UBI: prepare for protection tree improvements
This patch modifies @struct ubi_wl_entry and adds union which
contains only one element so far. This is just a preparation
for further changes which will kill the protection tree and
make UBI use a list instead.
When a PEB is moved and a write error happens, UBI switches
to R/O mode, which is wrong, because we just copy the data
and may select a different PEB and re-try this. This patch
fixes WL worker's behavior.
We cannot call 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' with @ubi->buf_mutex locked,
because 'ubi_wl_get_peb()' may force erasure, which, in turn,
may call 'torture_peb()' which also locks the @ubi->buf_mutex
and deadlocks.

UBI: fix warnings when debugging is enabled
The 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()' and 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()' function
have the 'verbose' argument which controls whether they should
print a warning if the VID/EC header was not found or was corrupted.
Some callers require the headers to be OK, and pass 1. Some allow
a corrupted/not present header, and pass 0.
if (UBI_IO_DEBUG)
verbose = 1;
And UBI_IO_DEBUG is 1 if CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_MSG_BLD is true. So in
this case the warning is printed all the time. This confuses people.
Thus, do not print the messages as warnings if UBI_IO_DEBUG is true,
but print them as debugging messages instead.

UBI: fix EBADMSG handling
'ubi_io_read_data()' may return EBADMSG in case of an ECC error,
and we should not panic because of this. We have CRC32 checksum
and may check the data. So just ignore the EBADMSG error.
This patch also fixes a minor spelling error at the same time.
In case of error, the function add_volume returns an ERR pointer. The
result of IS_ERR, which is supposed to be used in a test as it is, is
here checked to be less than zero, which seems odd. We suggest to
replace this test by a simple IS_ERR test.
A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is
as follows:
(http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/)
At the moment UBIFS reserves twice old index size space for the
index. But this is not enough in some cases, because if the indexing
node are very fragmented and there are many small gaps, while the
dirty index has big znodes - in-the-gaps method would fail.
Thus, reserve trise as more, in which case we are guaranteed that
we can commit in any case.
If the the background thread is disabled for debugging purposes,
start it anyway, because otherwise we see tonns of kernel debugging
complaints like this:
UBIFS aligns node lengths to 8, so budgeting has to do the
same. Well, direntry, inode, and page budgets are already
aligned, but not inode data budget (e.g., data in special
devices or symlinks). Do this for inode data as well.
Also, add corresponding debugging checks.

UBIFS: correct orphan deletion order
The debug function that checks orphans, does so using the
TNC mutex. That means it will not see a correct picture
if the inode is removed from the orphan tree before it is
removed from TNC.

Every time anything is deleted, UBIFS writes the deletion inode
node twice - once in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' and the second time in
'ubifs_jnl_write_inode()'. However, the second write is not needed
if no commit happened after 'ubifs_jnl_update()'. This patch
checke that condition and avoids writing the deletion inode for
the second time.
Simplify 'ubifs_jnl_write_inode()' by removing the 'deletion'
parameter which is not really needed because we may test
inode->i_nlink and check whether this is a deletion or not.
Orphan inodes are deleted inodes which will disappear after FS
re-mount. There is not need to write orphan inodes back, because
they are not needed on the flash media.
So optimize orphans a little by not writing them back. Just mark
them as clean, free the budget, and report success to VFS.

Although the inode is marked as clean when it is being deleted,
it might stay and be used as orphan, and be marked as dirty.
So we have to free the budget when we delete it.
The 'ubifs_release_dirty_inode_budget()' was buggy and incorrectly
freed the budget, which led to not freeing all dirty data budget.
This patch fixes that.
Also, this patch fixes ubifs_mkdir() which passed 1 in dirty_ino_d,
which makes no sense. Well, it is harmless though.
Also, add few more useful assertions. And improve few debugging
messages.
If bit-flips happen often, UBI prints to many messages. Lessen
the amount by only printing the messages when the PEB has been
scrubbed. Also, print torturing messages.

This patch exports the 'sync_sb_inodes()' which is needed for
UBIFS because it have to force write-back from time to time.
Namely, the UBIFS budgeting subsystem forces write-back when
its pessimistic callculations show that there is not free
space on the media.

ubi_eba_close() is useless, it does not free what has to be freed.

UBI: add auto-resize feature
The problem: NAND flashes have different amount of initial bad physical
eraseblocks (marked as bad by the manufacturer). For example, for 256MiB
Samsung OneNAND flash there might be from 0 to 40 bad initial eraseblocks,
which is about 2%. When UBI is used as the base system, one needs to know
the exact amount of good physical eraseblocks, because this number is
needed to create the UBI image which is put to the devices during
production. But this number is not know, which forces us to use the
minimum number of good physical eraseblocks. And UBI additionally
reserves some percentage of physical eraseblocks for bad block handling
(default is 1%), so we have 1-3% of PEBs reserved at the end, depending
on the amount of initial bad PEBs. But it is desired to always have
1% (or more, depending on the configuration).
Solution: this patch adds an "auto-resize" flag to the volume table.
The volume which has the "auto-resize" flag will automatically be re-sized
(enlarged) on the first UBI initialization. UBI clears the flag when
the volume is re-sized. Only one volume may have the "auto-resize" flag.
So, the production UBI image may have one volume with "auto-resize"
flag set, and its size is automatically adjusted on the first boot
of the device.
