Adds RENAME_WHITEOUT support to UBIFS, we implement
it in the same way as ext4 and xfs do.

Ubifs internally uses special inodes for storing xattrs. Those inodes
had NULL {get,set,remove}xattr inode operations before this change, so
xattr operations on them would fail. The super block's s_xattr field
would also apply to those special inodes. However, the inodes are not
visible outside of ubifs, and so no xattr operations will ever be
carried out on them anyway.

PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} macros were introduced *long* time
ago with promise that one day it will be possible to implement page
cache with bigger chunks than PAGE_SIZE.
This promise never materialized. And unlikely will.
We have many places where PAGE_CACHE_SIZE assumed to be equal to
PAGE_SIZE. And it's constant source of confusion on whether
PAGE_CACHE_* or PAGE_* constant should be used in a particular case,
especially on the border between fs and mm.
Global switching to PAGE_CACHE_SIZE != PAGE_SIZE would cause to much
breakage to be doable.
Let's stop pretending that pages in page cache are special. They are
not.
The changes are pretty straight-forward:
- <foo> << (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- <foo> >> (PAGE_CACHE_SHIFT - PAGE_SHIFT) -> <foo>;
- PAGE_CACHE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN} -> PAGE_{SIZE,SHIFT,MASK,ALIGN};
- page_cache_get() -> get_page();
- page_cache_release() -> put_page();
This patch contains automated changes generated with coccinelle using
script below. For some reason, coccinelle doesn't patch header files.
I've called spatch for them manually.
The only adjustment after coccinelle is revert of changes to
PAGE_CAHCE_ALIGN definition: we are going to drop it later.
There are few places in the code where coccinelle didn't reach. I'll
fix them manually in a separate patch. Comments and documentation also
will be addressed with the separate patch.

To make ubifs support atime flexily, this commit introduces
a Kconfig option named as UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT.
With UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=n:
ubifs keeps the full compatibility to no_atime from

With UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=y:
ubifs supports the atime same with other main stream
file systems.
=================UBIFS_ATIME_SUPPORT=y=======================
-o - default behavior (relatime currently)

In the case where we have more than one volumes on different UBI
devices, it may be not that easy to tell which volume prints the

to help debug. These two values are passed by struct ubifs_info.
For those where ubifs_info is not initialized yet, ubifs_* is
replaced by pr_*. For those where ubifs_info is not avaliable,
ubifs_info is passed to the calling function as a const parameter.

Convert the filesystem shrinkers to use the new API, and standardise some
of the behaviours of the shrinkers at the same time. For example,
nr_to_scan means the number of objects to scan, not the number of objects
to free.
I refactored the CIFS idmap shrinker a little - it really needs to be
broken up into a shrinker per tree and keep an item count with the tree
root so that we don't need to walk the tree every time the shrinker needs
to count the number of objects in the tree (i.e. all the time under
memory pressure).

The UBIFS lpt tree is in many aspects similar to the TNC tree, and we have
similar flags for these trees. And by mistake we use the COW_ZNODE flag for
LPT in some places, instead of the right flag COW_CNODE. And this works
only because these two constants have the same value.

The 'space_fixup' flag can be set in the superblock of a new filesystem by
mkfs.ubifs to indicate that any eraseblocks with free space remaining should be
fixed-up the first time it's mounted (after which the flag is un-set). This
means that the UBIFS image has been flashed by a "dumb" flasher and the free
space has been actually programmed (writing all 0xFFs), so this free space
cannot be used. UBIFS fixes the free space up by re-writing the contents of all
LEBs with free space using the atomic LEB change UBI operation.

This patch simplifies replay even further - it removes the replay tree and
adds the replay list instead. Indeed, we just do not need to use a tree here -
all we need to do is to add all nodes to the list and then sort it. Using
RB-tree is an overkill - more code and slower. And since we replay buds in
order, we expect the nodes to follow in _mostly_ sorted order, so the merge
sort becomes much cheaper in average than an RB-tree.

This patch separates out all the budgeting-related information
from 'struct ubifs_info' to 'struct ubifs_budg_info'. This way the

allocate the write reserve buffer when we are in R/O mode.

Currently we assume write-buffer size is always min_io_size. But
this is about to change and write-buffers may be of variable size.
Namely, they will be of max_write_size at the beginning, but will
get smaller when we are approaching the end of LEB.
This is a preparation patch which introduces 'size' field in
the write-buffer structure which carries the current write-buffer
size.

Incorporate the LEB offset information into UBIFS. We'll use this
information in one of the next patches to figure out what are the
max. write size offsets relative to the PEB. So this patch is just
a preparation.

Incorporate maximum write size into the UBIFS description data
structure. This patch just introduces new 'c->max_write_size'
and 'c->max_write_shift' fields as a preparation for the following
patches.

This is a preparational patch which removes the 'c->always_chk_crc' which was
set during mounting and remounting to R/W mode and introduces 'c->mounting'
flag which is set when mounting. Now the 'c->always_chk_crc' flag is the
same as 'c->remounting_rw && c->mounting'.
This patch is a preparation for the next one which will need to know when we
are mounting and remounting to R/W mode, which is exactly what
'c->always_chk_crc' effectively is, but its name does not suite the
next patch. The other possibility would be to just re-name it, but then
we'd end up with less logical flags coverage.

This is a cosmetic patch which re-arranges variables in 'struct ubifs_info'
so that all boolean-like variables which are only changed during mounting or
re-mounting to R/W mode are places together. Then they are turned into
bit-fields, which makes the structure a little bit smaller.

Commit 2fde99cb55 "UBIFS: mark VFS SB RO too"
introduced regression. This commit made UBIFS set the 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the
VFS superblock when it switches to R/O mode due to an error. This was done
to make VFS show the R/O UBIFS flag in /proc/mounts.
However, several places in UBIFS relied on the 'MS_RDONLY' flag and assume this
flag can only change when we re-mount. For example, 'ubifs_put_super()'.
This patch introduces new UBIFS flag - 'c->ro_mount' which changes only when
we re-mount, and preserves the way UBIFS was originally mounted (R/W or R/O).
This allows us to de-initialize UBIFS cleanly in 'ubifs_put_super()'.
This patch also changes all 'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)' assertions to
'ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media && !c->ro_mount)', because we never should write
anything if the FS was mounter R/O.
All the places where we test for 'MS_RDONLY' flag in the VFS SB were changed
and now we test the 'c->ro_mount' flag instead, because it preserves the
original UBIFS mount type, unlike the 'MS_RDONLY' flag.

The R/O state may have various reasons:
1. The UBI volume is R/O
2. The FS is mounted R/O
3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error
However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.
But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
is R/O, our message is bogus.
This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
"if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.
In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
changes - it fixes the error messages as well.

When scanning the flash, UBIFS builds a list of flash nodes of type
'struct ubifs_scan_node'. Each scanned node has a 'snod->key' field. This field
is valid for most of the nodes, but invalid for some node type, e.g., truncation
nodes. It is safer to explicitly initialize such keys to something invalid,
rather than leaving them initialized to all zeros, which has key type of
UBIFS_INO_KEY.
This patch introduces new "fake" key type UBIFS_INVALID_KEY and initializes
unused 'snod->key' objects to this type. It also adds debugging assertions in
the TNC code to make sure no one ever tries to look these nodes up in the TNC.
