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

- When xdatum is removed, a new xdatum with 'delete marker' is
written. (version==0xffffffff means 'delete marker')
- 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] Put list of nodes in common part of ic/x_ref/x_datum structure

We'll be using a proper list of nodes in the jffs2_xattr_datum and
jffs2_xattr_ref structures, because the existing code to overwrite
them is just broken. Put it in the common part at the front of the
structure which is shared with the jffs2_inode_cache, so that the
jffs2_link_node_ref() function can do the right thing.

[JFFS2][XATTR] Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic)

Remove jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic).
jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr_datum/ref() are called from gc.c directly.

In original implementation, jffs2_garbage_collect_xattr(c, ic) returns
with holding a spinlock if 'ic' is inode_cache. But it returns after
releasing a spinlock if 'ic' is xattr_datum/ref.
It looks so confusable behavior. Thus, this patch makes caller manage
locking/unlocking.

[JFFS2][XATTR] XATTR support on JFFS2 (version. 5)

This attached patches provide xattr support including POSIX-ACL and
SELinux support on JFFS2 (version.5).

There are some significant differences from previous version posted
at last December.
The biggest change is addition of EBS(Erase Block Summary) support.
Currently, both kernel and usermode utility (sumtool) can recognize
xattr nodes which have JFFS2_NODETYPE_XATTR/_XREF nodetype.

In addition, some bugs are fixed.
- A potential race condition was fixed.
- Unexpected fail when updating a xattr by same name/value pair was fixed.
- A bug when removing xattr name/value pair was fixed.

The fundamental structures (such as using two new nodetypes and exclusion
mechanism by rwsem) are unchanged. But most of implementation were reviewed
and updated if necessary.
Espacially, we had to change several internal implementations related to
load_xattr_datum() to avoid a potential race condition.
