I think we should keep the fm_work even fm_disabled is true. UBI is 
running with fastmap scheme as long as CONFIG_MTD_UBI_FASTMAP is 
enabled, 'ubi->fm_disabled' is just used to control whether to 
persistence fastmap metadata on flash. Free wear-leveling pebs 
consuming/producing model still depend on following process:
Consuming: get_peb_for_wl -> pool->pebs[pool->used++]
Producing: ubi->fm_work -> update_fastmap_work_fn -> ubi_refill_pools -> 
wl_pool->used = 0
If we disable 'ubi->fm_work' when ubi->fm_disabled becomes true, 
wear-leveing work will fail to get free wl peb until someone try to get 
free peb by ubi_wl_get_peb().
