    [JFFS2] Fix free space leak with in-band cleanmarkers
    
    We were accounting for the cleanmarker by calling jffs2_link_node_ref()
    (without locking!), which adjusted both superblock and per-eraseblock
    accounting, subtracting the size of the cleanmarker from {jeb,c}->free_size
    and adding it to {jeb,c}->used_size.
    
    But only _then_ were we adding the size of the newly-erased block back
    to the superblock counts, and we were adding each of jeb->{free,used}_size
    to the corresponding superblock counts. Thus, the size of the cleanmarker
    was effectively subtracted from the superblock's free_size _twice_.
    
    Fix this, by always adding a full eraseblock size to c->free_size when
    we've erased a block. And call jffs2_link_node_ref() under the proper
    lock, while we're at it.
    
    Thanks to Alexander Yurchenko and/or Damir Shayhutdinov for (almost)
    pinpointing the problem.
