[PATCH 10/10] UBIFS: fix-up free space earlier

From: Ben Gardiner <bengardiner at nanometrics.ca>

The free space fixup is currently initiated during mount after the call to
ubifs_write_master() which results in a write to PEBs; this has been observed
with the patch 'assert no fixup when writing a node' applied:

Move the free space fixup on mount to before the calls to
ubifs_recover_inl_heads() and ubifs_write_master(). This results in no
assertions with the previously mentioned patch applied.

Artem: tweaked the patch a bit
