UBIFS guarantees two things for znodes:
1) all index nodes(in commit seq N) are written on flash before master 
nodes(for commit seq N) are written.
2) all index nodes(in commit seq N) won't be erased from flash before 
master nodes(for commit seq N+1) are written.
So, I don't understand that why znodes not exist during journal replaying?
