[JFFS2] Prevent list corruption when handling write errors

If a write error occurs, the affected block is placed on the
bad_used_list. In the case that the write error occured
when writing summary data the block was also being placed on
the dirty_list, which caused list corruption and ultimately
a soft lockup in jffs2_mark_node_obsolete. This fixes that.

[JFFS2][XATTR] using 'delete marker' for xdatum/xref deletion

- When xdatum is removed, a new xdatum with 'delete marker' is

- When xref is removed, a new xref with 'delete marker' is written.
(odd-numbered xseqno means 'delete marker')

- delete_xattr_(datum/xref)_delay() are new deletion functions
are added. We can only use them if we can detect the target
obsolete xdatum/xref as a orphan or errir one.
(e.g when inode deletion, or detecting crc error)

[JFFS2] Reduce visibility of raw_node_ref to upper layers of JFFS2 code.

As the first step towards eliminating the ref->next_phys member and saving
memory by using an _array_ of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref per eraseblock,
stop the write functions from allocating their own refs; have them just
_reserve_ the appropriate number instead. Then jffs2_link_node_ref() can
just fill them in.

Use a linked list of pre-allocated refs in the superblock, for now. Once
we switch to an array, it'll just be a case of extending that array.

[JFFS2] Finally eliminate __totlen field from struct jffs2_raw_node_ref

Well, almost. We'll actually keep a 'TEST_TOTLEN' macro set for now, and keep
doing some paranoia checks to make sure it's all working correctly. But if
TEST_TOTLEN is unset, the size of struct jffs2_raw_node_ref drops from 16
bytes to 12 on 32-bit machines. That's a saving of about half a megabyte of
memory on the OLPC prototype board, with 125K or so nodes in its 512MiB of
flash.

[JFFS2] Add erase block summary support (mount time improvement)

The goal of summary is to speed up the mount time. Erase block summary (EBS)
stores summary information at the end of every (closed) erase block. It is
no longer necessary to scan all nodes separetly (and read all pages of them)
just read this "small" summary, where every information is stored which is
needed at mount time.

This summary information is stored in a JFFS2_FEATURE_RWCOMPAT_DELETE. During
the mount process if there is no summary info the orignal scan process will
be executed. EBS works with NAND and NOR flashes, too.

There is a user space tool called sumtool to generate this summary
information for a JFFS2 image.
