Introduce the following I/O helper functions: 'ubifs_leb_read()',
'ubifs_leb_write()', 'ubifs_leb_change()', 'ubifs_leb_unmap()',
'ubifs_leb_map()', 'ubifs_is_mapped().
The idea is to wrap all UBI I/O functions in order to encapsulate various
assertions and error path handling (error message, stack dump, switching to R/O
mode). And there are some other benefits of this which will be used in the
following patches.
This patch does not switch whole UBIFS to use these functions yet.

We have 3 znode flags: cow, obsolete, dirty. For the last flag we have a
'ubifs_zn_dirty()' helper function, but for the other 2 flags we use
'test_bit()' directly.
This patch makes the situation more consistent and introduces helpers for the
other 2 flags: 'ubifs_zn_cow()' and 'ubifs_zn_obsolete()'.

We'll need to use the 'next_log_lnum()' helper function from log.c in the fixup
code, so let's move it to misc.h. IOW, this is a preparation to the following
free space fixup changes.

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.

'ubifs_get_lprops()' and 'ubifs_release_lprops()' basically wrap
mutex lock and unlock. We have them because we want lprops subsystem
be separate and as independent as possible. And we planned better
locking rules for lprops.
Anyway, because they are short, it is better to inline them.

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.

At the moment UBIFS reserves twice old index size space for the
index. But this is not enough in some cases, because if the indexing
node are very fragmented and there are many small gaps, while the
dirty index has big znodes - in-the-gaps method would fail.
Thus, reserve trise as more, in which case we are guaranteed that
we can commit in any case.

We use ubifs_ro_mode() quite a lot, and not in fast-path, so
there is no reason to blow the code up by having it inlined.
Also, we usually want R/O mode change to be seen to other
CPUs as soon as possible, so when we make this a function
call, we will automatically have a memory barrier.
