[PATCH 3/6] UBIFS: allocate ltab checking buffer on demand

[Artem Bityutskiy <dedekind1@gmail.com>]

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>

Instead of using pre-allocated 'c->dbg->buf' buffer in
'dbg_check_ltab_lnum()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The
intend is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'c->dbg->buf' buffer and
save 128KiB of RAM (or more if PEB size is larger). Indeed,
currently we allocate this memory even if the user never enables
any self-check, which is wasteful.
