[PATCH 0/3] fix-up free space earlier in mount_ubifs()

[Ben Gardiner <bengardiner@nanometrics.ca>]

In testing Mattew Creech's free-space-fixup flag series I found that was unable
to boot a da850evm which had flashed to it's NAND a ubinized image containing a
UBIFS that has the free-space-fixup flag set.

The cause of the problem was found to be the call to ubifs_write_master() from
mount_ubifs() as is evidenced the backtrace produced by the assertion
introduced in the first patch of this series; where the assertion introduced is
that c->space_fixup is false when ubifs_write_node() is called.

UBIFS assert failed in ubifs_write_node at 766 (pid 1)

Moving the free-space-fixup to before the call to ubifs_write_master() requires that the
LPT be initialiazed first; therefore the second patch of this series moves the 
ubifs_lpt_init() call to before the call to ubifs_write_master() in preparation of moving
the free-space fixup. 

Finally, the free-space fixup is moved to earlier in the mounting process -- in testing this
has resulted in a bootable da850evm and no assertion errors.

Ben Gardiner (3):
  UBIFS: assert no fixup when writing a node
  UBIFS: intialize the LPT earlier
  UBIFS: fix-up free space earlier
