That's OK, but I think it's cleaner if we prevent the mark_node_obsolete() 
code from touching the lists in the first place. This way, we can also 
prevent it from trying to physically mark them obsolete too - if that 
didn't happen the first time, we shouldn't be doing it on mount. 

This problem didn't turn up on NOR flash because we do mark the nodes 
obsolete on the flash, so the mount code never had to bother with them.

Please could you confirm this also fixes the problem?
