There is a risk that the fastmap anchor PEB is alternating between
just two PEBs, the current anchor and the previous anchor that was just
deleted. As the fastmap pools gets the first take on free PEBs, the
pools may leave no free PEBs to be selected as the new anchor,
resulting in the two PEBs alternating behaviour. If the anchor PEBs gets
a high erase count the PEBs will not be used by the pools but remain in
ubi->free, even more increasing the likelihood they will be used as
anchors.
Getting stuck using only a couple of PEBs continuously will result in an
uneven wear, eventually leading to failure.
To fix this:
- Choose the fastmap anchor when the most free PEBs are available. This is
during rebuilding of the fastmap pools, after the unused pool PEBs are
added to ubi->free but before the pools are populated again from the
free PEBs. Also reserve an additional second best PEB as a candidate
for the next time the fast map anchor is updated. If a better PEB is
found the next time the fast map anchor is updated, the candidate is
made available for building the pools.
- Enable anchor move within the anchor area again as it is useful for
distributing wear.
- The anchor candidate for the next fastmap update is the most suited free
PEB. Check this PEB's erase count during wear leveling. If the wear
leveling limit is exceeded, the PEB is considered unsuitable for now. As
all other non used anchor area PEBs should be even worse, free up the
used anchor area PEB with the lowest erase count.

When a new fastmap is about to be written UBI must make sure it has a
free block for a fastmap anchor available. For this ubi_update_fastmap()
calls ubi_ensure_anchor_pebs(). This stopped working with 2e8f08deab
("ubi: Fix races around ubi_refill_pools()"), with this commit the wear
leveling code is blocked and can no longer produce free PEBs. UBI then
more often than not falls back to write the new fastmap anchor to the
same block it was already on which means the same erase block gets
erased during each fastmap write and wears out quite fast.
As the locking prevents us from producing the anchor PEB when we
actually need it, this patch changes the strategy for creating the
anchor PEB. We no longer create it on demand right before we want to
write a fastmap, but instead we create an anchor PEB right after we have
written a fastmap. This gives us enough time to produce a new anchor PEB
before it is needed. To make sure we have an anchor PEB for the very
first fastmap write we call ubi_ensure_anchor_pebs() during
initialisation as well.

To make sure that Fastmap can use a PEB within the first 64
PEBs, UBI moves blocks away from that area.
It uses regular wear-leveling for that job.
An anchor move can be triggered if no PEB is free in this area
or because of anticipation. In the latter case it can happen
that UBI decides to move a block but finds a free PEB
within the same area.
This case is in vain an increases only erase counters.
Catch this case and cancel wear-leveling if this happens.

make sure to align allocation on ubi->vid_hdr_alsize and adjust the
vid_hdr pointer to match the ubi->vid_hdr_shift requirements.
This works fine, but is a bit convoluted.
Moreover, the future introduction of LEB consolidation (needed to support
MLC/TLC NANDs) will allows a VID buffer to contain more than one VID
header.
Hence the creation of a ubi_vid_io_buf struct to attach extra information

Since fastmap we gained do_sync_erase(). This function can return an error
and its error handling isn't obvious. First the memory allocation for
struct ubi_work can fail and as such struct ubi_wl_entry is leaked.
However if the memory allocation succeeds then the tail function takes
care of the struct ubi_wl_entry. A free here could result in a double
free.
To make the error handling simpler, I split the tail function into one
piece which does the work and another which frees the struct ubi_work
which is passed as argument. As result do_sync_erase() can keep the
struct on stack and we get rid of one error source.

ubi_wl_get_peb() returns a fresh PEB which can be used by

map this PEB upon attach time because it will be scanned.
If a new fastmap is written (due to heavy parallel io)
while the before the fresh PEB is assigned to the EBA table
it will not be scanned as it is no longer in the pool.
So, the race window exists between ubi_wl_get_peb()
and the EBA table assignment.
We have to make sure that no new fastmap can be written
while that.
