This patch fixes a minor problem where we may fail to wake
upe the UBI background thread. This is not fatal at all,
it may just result at sligtly worse performace for a short
period of time, just because the thread will be woken up
when real I/O on the UBI starts.
Anywey, the issue is the race condition between
'ubi_attach_mtd_dev()' and 'ubi_thread()'. If we do not
serialize them, the 'wake_up_process()' call may be done
before 'ubi_thread()' went seep, but after it checked
'ubi->thread_enabled'.

The @vol->upd_marker should be protected by the @ubi->device_mutex,
otherwise 'paranoid_check_volume()' complains sometimes because
vol->upd_marker is 1 while vtbl_rec->upd_marker is 0.

If a volume paranoid check fails, do not return an error
code to the caller, but just print error messages and go
forward. The primary reason for this is that it is difficult
to recover and cancel the operation at that stage.

When paranoid checs are enabled, the 'io_paral' test from the
'mtd-utils' package fails. The symptoms are:
UBI error: paranoid_check_all_ff: flash region at PEB 3973:512, length 15872 does not contain all 0xFF bytes
UBI error: paranoid_check_all_ff: paranoid check failed for PEB 3973
UBI: hex dump of the 512-16384 region
It turned out to be a bug in the checking function. Suppose there
are 2 tasks - A and B. Task A is the wear-levelling working
('wear_leveling_worker()'). It is reading the VID header to find
which LEB this PEB belongs to. Say, task A is reading header
of PEB X. Suppose PEB X is unmapped, and has no VID header.
Task B is trying to write to PEB X.
Task A: in 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()': reads the VID header from PEB X.
The read data contain all 0xFF bytes.
Task B: writes VID header and some data to PEB X
Task A: assumes PEB X is empty, calls 'paranoid_check_all_ff()', which
fails.
The solution for this problem is to make 'paranoid_check_all_ff()'
re-read the VID header, re-check it, and only if it is not there,
check the rest. This now implemented by the 'paranoid_check_empty()'
function.

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.

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).

MTD internal API presently uses 32-bit values to represent
device size. This patch updates them to 64-bits but leaves
the external API unchanged. Extending the external API
is a separate issue for several reasons. First, no one
needs it at the moment. Secondly, whether the implementation
is done with IOCTLs, sysfs or both is still debated. Thirdly
external API changes require the internal API to be accepted
first.
Note that although the MTD API will be able to support 64-bit
device sizes, existing drivers do not and are not required
to do so, although NAND base has been updated.
In general, changing from 32-bit to 64-bit values cause little
or no changes to the majority of the code with the following
exceptions:
- printk message formats
- division and modulus of 64-bit values
- NAND base support
- 32-bit local variables used by mtdpart and mtdconcat
- naughtily assuming one structure maps to another
in MEMERASE ioctl

The 'ubi_io_read_vid_hdr()' and 'ubi_io_read_ec_hdr()' function
have the 'verbose' argument which controls whether they should
print a warning if the VID/EC header was not found or was corrupted.
Some callers require the headers to be OK, and pass 1. Some allow
a corrupted/not present header, and pass 0.
if (UBI_IO_DEBUG)
verbose = 1;
And UBI_IO_DEBUG is 1 if CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_MSG_BLD is true. So in
this case the warning is printed all the time. This confuses people.
Thus, do not print the messages as warnings if UBI_IO_DEBUG is true,
but print them as debugging messages instead.

Before UBI got into mainline, there was a slight flash format
change - we did not have sequence number support, then added it.
We have carried full support of those ancient images till this
moment. Now the support is removed, well, not fully removed.
Now UBI will support only _clean_ old images, which were cleanly
detached last time (just before kernel upgrade). This is most
likely the case.
But we will not support unclean ancient images. Surprisingly,
this allows us to remove a big chunk of legacy code.
And the same should be true for downgrading: clean images should
downgrade fine, but unclean ones will not.
