UBI volume notifications are intended to create the API to get clients
notified about volume creation/deletion, renaming and re-sizing. A
client can subscribe to these notifications using 'ubi_volume_register()'
and cancel the subscription using 'ubi_volume_unregister()'. When UBI
volumes change, a blocking notifier is called. Clients also can request
"added" events on all volumes that existed before client subscribed
to the notifications.
If we use notifications instead of calling functions like 'ubi_gluebi_xxx()',
we can make the MTD emulation layer to be more flexible: build it as a
separate module and load/unload it on demand.
[Artem: many cleanups, rework locking, add "updated" event, provide
device/volume info in notifiers]

The mutex essencially protects the entire UBI device, so the
old @volumes_mutex name is a little misleading.

The @mult_mutex does not serve any purpose. We already have
@volumes_mutex and it is enough. The @volume mutex is pushed
down to the 'ubi_rename_volumes()', because we want first
to open all volumes in the exclusive mode, and then lock the
mutex, just like all other ioctl's (remove, re-size, etc) do.

Introduce a new ioctl UBI_IOCSETPROP to set properties
on a volume. Also add the first property:
UBI_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE, this property is used to set the
ability to use direct writes in userspace

UBI ioctl's do not work when running 64-bit kernel and 32-bit
user-land. Fix this by adding the compat_ioctl method.
Also, UBI serializes all ioctls, so more than one ioctl at a time
is not a problem. Amd UBI does not seem to depend on anything else,
so use unlocked_ioctl instead of ioctl (no BKL needed).

Some ioctl's in UBI are enabled only when debugging is switched
on. There is not particular reason for this, just noone needed
them. However, some people need the now for their user-space
development. Thus, allow these ioctl's even if UBI debugging
is disabled.

This patch adds ioctl to check if an LEB is mapped or not (as a

Check that volume name is not shorter than 'name_len'.
No need to copy the trailing zero byte because whole array
was zeroed earlier.

UBI already checks that @min io size is the power of 2 at io_init.
It is save to use bit operations then.
