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.

+ * needs UBI in RW mode), it might be faster to calculate ECC. This is weird
+ * example, but it real-life example. So, in this example, @vid_hdr_offer would
+ * be 2KiB-64 bytes = 1984. Note, that this position is not even 512-bytes
+ * aligned, which is OK, as UBI is clever enough to realize this is 4th
+ * sub-page of the first page and add needed padding.
+ *
+ * The @max_beb_per1024 is the maximum amount of bad PEBs UBI expects on the
+ * UBI device per 1024 eraseblocks.  This value is often given in an other form
+ * in the NAND datasheet (min NVB i.e. minimal number of valid blocks). The
+ * maximum expected bad eraseblocks per 1024 is then:
+ *    1024 * (1 - MinNVB / MaxNVB)
+ * Which gives 20 for most NAND devices.  This limit is used in order to derive
+ * amount of eraseblock UBI reserves for handling new bad blocks. If the device
+ * has more bad eraseblocks than this limit, UBI does not reserve any physical
+ * eraseblocks for new bad eraseblocks, but attempts to use available
+ * eraseblocks (if any). The accepted range is 0-768. If 0 is given, the
+ * default kernel value of %CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT will be used.
