mtd, ubi, ubifs: resync with Linux-3.14

resync ubi subsystem with linux:

commit 455c6fdbd219161bd09b1165f11699d6d73de11c
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
Date:   Sun Mar 30 20:40:15 2014 -0700

    Linux 3.14

A nice side effect of this, is we introduce UBI Fastmap support
to U-Boot.

+ * UBI attaching sub-system.
+ *
+ * This sub-system is responsible for attaching MTD devices and it also
+ * implements flash media scanning.
+ *
+ * The attaching information is represented by a &struct ubi_attach_info'
+ * object. Information about volumes is represented by &struct ubi_ainf_volume
+ * objects which are kept in volume RB-tree with root at the @volumes field.
+ * The RB-tree is indexed by the volume ID.
+ *
+ * Logical eraseblocks are represented by &struct ubi_ainf_peb objects. These
+ * objects are kept in per-volume RB-trees with the root at the corresponding
+ * &struct ubi_ainf_volume object. To put it differently, we keep an RB-tree of
+ * per-volume objects and each of these objects is the root of RB-tree of
+ * per-LEB objects.
+ *
+ * Corrupted physical eraseblocks are put to the @corr list, free physical
+ * eraseblocks are put to the @free list and the physical eraseblock to be
+ * erased are put to the @erase list.
+ *
+ * About corruptions
+ * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ *
+ * UBI protects EC and VID headers with CRC-32 checksums, so it can detect
+ * whether the headers are corrupted or not. Sometimes UBI also protects the
+ * data with CRC-32, e.g., when it executes the atomic LEB change operation, or
+ * when it moves the contents of a PEB for wear-leveling purposes.
+ *
+ * UBI tries to distinguish between 2 types of corruptions.
+ *
+ * 1. Corruptions caused by power cuts. These are expected corruptions and UBI
+ * tries to handle them gracefully, without printing too many warnings and
+ * error messages. The idea is that we do not lose important data in these
+ * cases - we may lose only the data which were being written to the media just
+ * before the power cut happened, and the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) are
+ * supposed to handle such data losses (e.g., by using the FS journal).
+ *
+ * When UBI detects a corruption (CRC-32 mismatch) in a PEB, and it looks like
+ * the reason is a power cut, UBI puts this PEB to the @erase list, and all
+ * PEBs in the @erase list are scheduled for erasure later.
+ *
+ * 2. Unexpected corruptions which are not caused by power cuts. During
+ * attaching, such PEBs are put to the @corr list and UBI preserves them.
+ * Obviously, this lessens the amount of available PEBs, and if at some  point
+ * UBI runs out of free PEBs, it switches to R/O mode. UBI also loudly informs
+ * about such PEBs every time the MTD device is attached.
+ *
+ * However, it is difficult to reliably distinguish between these types of
+ * corruptions and UBI's strategy is as follows (in case of attaching by
+ * scanning). UBI assumes corruption type 2 if the VID header is corrupted and
+ * the data area does not contain all 0xFFs, and there were no bit-flips or
+ * integrity errors (e.g., ECC errors in case of NAND) while reading the data
+ * area.  Otherwise UBI assumes corruption type 1. So the decision criteria
+ * are as follows.
+ *   o If the data area contains only 0xFFs, there are no data, and it is safe
+ *     to just erase this PEB - this is corruption type 1.
+ *   o If the data area has bit-flips or data integrity errors (ECC errors on
+ *     NAND), it is probably a PEB which was being erased when power cut
+ *     happened, so this is corruption type 1. However, this is just a guess,
+ *     which might be wrong.
+ *   o Otherwise this is corruption type 2.

+ * When the WL sub-system returns a physical eraseblock, the physical
+ * eraseblock is protected from being moved for some "time". For this reason,

+ * physical eraseblock is temporarily stored (@wl->pq).
+ *
+ * All this protection stuff is needed because:

+ *
+ *  o there is a chance that the user will put the physical eraseblock very

+ * protection queue. Eraseblocks are put to the tail of this queue when they
+ * are returned by the 'ubi_wl_get_peb()', and eraseblocks are removed from the
+ * head of the queue on each erase operation (for any eraseblock). So the
+ * length of the queue defines how may (global) erase cycles PEBs are protected.
+ *
+ * To put it differently, each physical eraseblock has 2 main states: free and
+ * used. The former state corresponds to the @wl->free tree. The latter state

+ * o the WL movement is disallowed (@wl->erroneous) because the PEB is

+ * o the WL movement is temporarily prohibited (@wl->pq queue);
+ * o scrubbing is needed (@wl->scrub tree).
+ *
+ * Depending on the sub-state, wear-leveling entries of the used physical
