even if GC did not finish the LEB
- don't ignore error return when reading

601c0bc467 UBIFS: allow for racing between GC and TNC
The TNC mutex is unlocked prematurely when reading leaf nodes
with non-hashed keys.  This is unsafe because the node may be
moved by garbage collection and the eraseblock unmapped, although
that has never actually happened during stress testing.

This patch fixes the flaw by detecting the race and retrying with
the TNC mutex locked.

761e29f3bb UBIFS: always read hashed-key nodes under TNC mutex
Leaf-nodes that have a hashed key are stored in the
leaf-node-cache (LNC) which is protected by the TNC
mutex.  Consequently, when reading a leaf node with
a hashed key (i.e. directory entries, xattr entries)
the TNC mutex is always required.
