[RFC] ubi: tmp hack for lstat

[Sebastian Andrzej Siewior]

lstat() on /dev/ubi%d_%d returns 0 in the st_size field. This hack
allows to get the correct file size (as long as nobody updates the volume
in the meantime).

I have userpsace programs which stat() the file and process the
returned number bytes. The other work around is to copy the file
somewhere and use this file instead of /dev/ubi.
Artem, do you thing it is possible to implement this functionality
properly or would it be reasonable not to use stat() at all on ubi
volumes?
