This patch adds the necessary runtime accounting to keep mean_ec
up to date as well as code to export mean_ec to sysfs. While
mean_ec already existed as part of the ubi attach structure, it
was currently not exported to sysfs nor is its value update after
device attachment.
From a production device point of view, tracking the overall wear
rate is critical to determine wear lifetime and catching abusive
write behavior to the storage device that may lead to excessive
wear. The currently available sysfs information, max_ec, has a
rate of change that is somewhat erratic and thus isn't a sufficient
for this purpose.

I just noticed a few non-optimal and invalid things I'm doing here:
- I should not add a new ec+count variable. I should be using
good_peb_count instead.
- The current implementation uses a ec_sum that doesn't get
recalculated when blocks go bad. The sum should be recalculated each
time as previously good blocks that contributed to the sum may go bad.
This recalculation could occur once on attachment and then adjusted
each time a block goes bad, or, on each ec change which allows not
adding a new variable.
Given these problem, I will make and send a v2 shortly.
