Artem Bityutskiy ba2f48f70e UBIFS: mark unused key objects as invalid
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.

Artem Bityutskiy 5b7a3a2e1b UBIFS: do not write rubbish into truncation scanning node
In the scanning code, in 'ubifs_add_snod()', we write rubbish into
'snod->key', because we assume that on-flash truncation nodes have a key, but
they do not. If the other parts of UBIFS then mistakenly try to look-up
the truncation node key (they should not do this, but may do because of a bug),
we can succeed and corrupt TNC. It looks like we did have such a situation in
'sort_nodes()' in gc.c.

Artem Bityutskiy 348709bad3 UBIFS: do not print scary error messages needlessly
At the moment UBIFS print large and scary error messages and
flash dumps in case of nearly any corruption, even if it is
a recoverable corruption. For example, if the master node is
corrupted, ubifs_scan() prints error dumps, then UBIFS recovers
just fine and goes on.

This patch makes UBIFS print scary error messages only in
real cases, which are not recoverable. It adds 'quiet' argument
to the 'ubifs_scan()' function, so the caller may ask 'ubi_scan()'
not to print error messages if the caller is able to do recovery.

Artem Bityutskiy ed43f2f06c UBIFS: small amendments in the LEB scanning code
This patch fixes few minor things I've spotted while going through
code:

1. Better document return codes
2. If 'ubifs_scan_a_node()' returns some thing we do not expect,
   treat this as an error.
3. Try to do recovery only when 'ubifs_scan()' returns %-EUCLEAN,
   not on any error.
4. If empty space starts at a non-aligned address, print a message.

Artem Bityutskiy 086b3640c1 UBIFS: dump a little more in case of corruptions
In case of corruptions, dump 8192 bytes instead of 4096. The
largest node is 4096+ bytes, so it is better to see a node
boundary, which is not always possible when only 4096 bytes
are printed.

Adrian Hunter 2953e73f1c UBIFS: add no_chk_data_crc mount option
UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC
check when data nodes are read.  This option can be used if
the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable.
Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata.

Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s
to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.
