f10770f5e5 UBIFS: fully sort GCed nodes
The 'joinup()' function cannot deal with situations when nodes
go in reverse order - it just leaves them in this order. This
patch implement full nodes sorting using n*log(n) algorithm.
It sorts data nodes for bulk-read, and direntry nodes for
readdir().

b466f17d78 UBIFS: remount ro fixes
- preserve the idx_gc list - it will be needed in the same
state, should UBIFS be remounted rw again
- prevent remounting ro if we have switched to read only
mode (due to a fatal error)

e4d9b6cbfc UBIFS: fix LEB list freeing
When freeing the c->idx_lebs list, we have to release the LEBs as well,
because we might be called from mount to read-only mode code. Otherwise
the LEBs stay taken forever, which may cause problems when we re-mount
back ro RW mode.

46773be497 UBIFS: improve garbage collection
Make garbage collection try to keep data nodes from the same
inode together and in ascending order.  This improves
performance when reading those nodes especially when bulk-read
is used.

IS_ERR() macro already has unlikely(), so do not use constructions
like 'if (unlikely(IS_ERR())'.

601c0bc467 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.
