UBIFS: do not allocate too much

Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
(non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
allocating 128KiB every time.

This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.

UBIFS: do not print scary memory allocation warnings

Bulk-read allocates a lot of memory with 'kmalloc()', and when it
is/gets fragmented 'kmalloc()' fails with a scarry warning. But
because bulk-read is just an optimization, UBIFS keeps working fine.
Supress the warning by passing __GFP_NOWARN option to 'kmalloc()'.

This patch also introduces a macro for the magic 128KiB constant.
This is just neater.

Note, this is not really fixes the problem we had, but just hides
the warnings. The further patches fix the problem.

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.

ubifs: Fix races between xattr_{set|get} and listxattr operations

commit f4e3634a3b642225a530c292fdb1e8a4007507f5 upstream.

UBIFS may occur some problems with concurrent xattr_{set|get} and
listxattr operations, such as assertion failure, memory corruption,
stale xattr value[1].

Fix it by importing a new rw-lock in @ubifs_inode to serilize write
operations on xattr, concurrent read operations are still effective,
just like ext4.

ubifs: add option to specify version for new file systems

Instead of creating ubifs file systems with UBIFS_FORMAT_VERSION
by default, add a module parameter ubifs.default_version to allow
the user to specify the desired version. Valid values are 4 to
UBIFS_FORMAT_VERSION (currently 5).

This way, one can for example create a file system with version 4
on kernel 4.19 which can still be mounted rw when downgrading to
kernel 4.9.
