This commit fixes NOR flash recovery issues observed with Spansion
S29GL512N NOR.
When NOR erases, it first fills PEBs with zeroes, then sets all bytes
to 0xFF. Filling with zeroes starts from the end of the PEB. And when
power is cut, this results in PEBs containing correct EC and VID headers
but corrupted with zeros at the end. This confuses UBI and it mistakinly
accepts these PEBs and associate them with LEBs.
Fis this issue by zeroing EC and VID magics before erasing PEBs, to
make UBI later refuse zem.

UBI volume notifications are intended to create the API to get clients
notified about volume creation/deletion, renaming and re-sizing. A
client can subscribe to these notifications using 'ubi_volume_register()'
and cancel the subscription using 'ubi_volume_unregister()'. When UBI
volumes change, a blocking notifier is called. Clients also can request
"added" events on all volumes that existed before client subscribed
to the notifications.
If we use notifications instead of calling functions like 'ubi_gluebi_xxx()',
we can make the MTD emulation layer to be more flexible: build it as a
separate module and load/unload it on demand.
[Artem: many cleanups, rework locking, add "updated" event, provide
device/volume info in notifiers]

This patch improves UBI errors handling. ATM UBI switches to
R/O mode when the WL worker fails to read the source PEB.
This means that the upper layers (e.g., UBIFS) has no
chances to unmap the erroneous PEB and fix the error.
This patch changes this behaviour and makes UBI put PEBs
like this into a separate RB-tree, thus preventing the
WL worker from hitting the same read errors again and
again.
But there is a 10% limit on a maximum amount of PEBs like this.
If there are too much of them, UBI switches to R/O mode.
Additionally, this patch teaches UBI not to panic and
switch to R/O mode if after a PEB has been copied, the
target LEB cannot be read back. Instead, now UBI cancels
the operation and schedules the target PEB for torturing.
The error paths has been tested by ingecting errors
into 'ubi_eba_copy_leb()'.

The @mult_mutex does not serve any purpose. We already have
@volumes_mutex and it is enough. The @volume mutex is pushed
down to the 'ubi_rename_volumes()', because we want first
to open all volumes in the exclusive mode, and then lock the
mutex, just like all other ioctl's (remove, re-size, etc) do.

The new trend in linux is not to store headers which define
on-media format in the include/ directory, but instead, store
them locally. This is because these headers "do not define any

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.

This is one more step on the way to "removable" UBI devices. It
adds reference counting for UBI devices. Every time a volume on
this device is opened - the device's refcount is increased. It
is also increased if someone is reading any sysfs file of this
UBI device or of one of its volumes.

This patch is a preparation to make UBI devices dynamic. It
adds an UBI control device which has dynamically allocated
major number and registers itself as "ubi_ctrl". It does not
do anything so far. The idea is that this device will allow
to attach/detach MTD devices from userspace.
This is symilar to what the Linux device mapper has.
The next things to do are:
* Fix UBI, because it now assumes UBI devices cannot go away
* Implement control device ioctls which will attach/detach MTD
devices

When the WL worker is moving an LEB, the volume might go away
occasionally. UBI does not handle these situations correctly.
This patch introduces a new mutex which serializes wear-levelling
worker and the the 'ubi_wl_put_peb()' function. Now, if one puts
an LEB, and its PEB is being moved, it will wait on the mutex.
And because we unmap all LEBs when removing volumes, this will make
the volume remove function to wait while the LEB movement
finishes.
Below is an example of an oops which should be fixed by this patch:

When the UBI device is nearly full, i.e. all LEBs are mapped, we have
only one spare LEB left - the one we reserved for WL purposes. Well,
I do not count the LEBs which were reserved for bad PEB handling -
suppose NOR flash for simplicity. If an "atomic LEB change operation"
is run, and the WL unit is moving a LEB, we have no spare LEBs to
finish the operation and fail, which is not good. Moreover, if there
are 2 or more simultanious "atomic LEB change" requests, only one of
them has chances to succeed, the other will fail with -ENOSPC. Not
good either.
This patch does 2 things:
1. Reserves one PEB for the "atomic LEB change" operation.
2. Serealize the operations so that only on of them may run
at a time (by means of a mutex).

Similar reason as in case of the previous patch: it causes
deadlocks if a filesystem with writeback support works on top
of UBI. So pre-allocate needed buffers when attaching MTD device.
We also need mutexes to protect the buffers, but they do not
cause much contantion because they are used in recovery, torture,
and WL copy routines, which are called seldom.

Use GFP_NOFS flag when allocating memory on I/O path, because otherwise
we may deadlock the filesystem which works on top of us. We observed
