Subject: ubi: Deal with interrupted erasures in WL

From: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at>

commit 2365418879e9abf12ea9def7f9f3caf0dfa7ffb0 upstream.

When Fastmap is used we can face here an -EBADMSG
since Fastmap cannot know about unmaps.
If the erasure was interrupted the PEB may show ECC
errors and UBI would go to ro-mode as it assumes
that the PEB was check during attach time, which is
not the case with Fastmap.
