[PATCH] UBIFS: fix the dark space calculation

[srimugunthan dhandapani]

hi,
The dark space calculation should be 64 bit type-casted ,when
assigning to tmp64( similar to how total_free is calculated).
Overflow will occur for very large flashes.

The patch did not apply to the latest UBIFS, but I have amended it.
Pushed to ubifs-2.6.git, thanks!
