Pull UBI changes from Artem Bityutskiy:
"The main change is the way we reserve eraseblocks for bad blocks
handling. We used to reserve 2% of the partition, but now we are more
aggressive and we reserve 2% of the entire chip, which is what
actually manufacturers specify in data sheets. We introduced an
option to users to override the default, though.
There are a couple of fixes as well, and a number of cleanups."

UBI was mistakingly using 'kfree()' instead of 'kmem_cache_free()' when
freeing "attach eraseblock" structures in vtbl.c. Thankfully, this happened
only when we were doing auto-format, so many systems were unaffected. However,
there are still many users affected.
It is strange, but the system did not crash and nothing bad happened when
the SLUB memory allocator was used. However, in case of SLOB we observed an
crash right away.
This problem was introduced in 2.6.39 by commit
"6c1e875 UBI: add slab cache for ubi_scan_leb objects"
A note for stable trees:
Because variable were renamed, this won't cleanly apply to older kernels.
Changing names like this should help:
1. ai -> si
2. aeb_slab_cache -> seb_slab_cache
3. new_aeb -> new_seb

UBI currently prints a lot of information when it mounts a volume, which
bothers some people. Make it less chatty - print only important information
by default.
Get rid of 'dbg_msg()' macro completely.

This patch amends commentaries in scan.[ch] to match the new logic. Reminder -
we did the restructuring to prepare the code for adding the fastmap. This patch
also renames a couple of functions - it was too difficult to separate out that
change and I decided that it is not too bad to have it in the same patch with
commentaries changes.

After re-naming the 'struct ubi_scan_volume' we should adjust all variables
named 'sv' to something else, because 'sv' stands for "scanning volume".
Let's rename it to 'av' which stands for "attaching volume" which is
a bit more consistent and has the same length, which makes re-naming easy.

Rename 'struct ubi_scan_info' to 'struct ubi_attach_info'. This is part
of the code re-structuring I am trying to do in order to add fastmap
in a more logical way. Fastmap can share a lot with scanning, including
the attach-time data structures, which all now have "scan" word in the
name. Let's get rid of this word.

This patch removes the 'dbg_err()' macro and we now use 'ubi_err' instead.
The idea of 'dbg_err()' was to compile out some error message to make the
binary a bit smaller - but I think it was a bad idea.

We have the "sefl-check" feature in UBI, but for historical reasons many
corresponding functions and commentaries in the code use term "paranoid check"
instead. Let's clean this up and use "self-check" everywhere.
This patch renames functions, amends messages and kills several redundant
debugging messages.

This patch kills the UBI debugging Kconfig option completely and makes all the
debugging stuff to be always compiled-in. It was pain in the neck to maintain
this useless option because all users I am aware of have debugging enabled
anyway - how else will you diagnose errors otherwise?

Remove 'static' modifier from the 'vid_hdr' local variable. I do not know
how it slipped in, but this is a bug and will break UBI if someone attaches
2 UBI volumes at the same time.
