[PATCH 1/2] UBIFS: make force in-the-gaps to be a general self-check

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy at nokia.com>

UBIFS can force itself to use the 'in-the-gaps' commit method - the last resort
method which is normally invoced very very rarely. Currently this "force
int-the-gaps" debugging feature is a separate test mode. But it is a bit saner
to make it to be the "general" self-test check instead.

This patch is just a clean-up which should make the debugging code look a bit
nicer and easier to use - we have way too many debugging options.
