[PATCH 1/6] UBIFS: allocate dump buffer on demand

[Artem Bityutskiy]

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

Instead of using pre-allocated 'c->dbg->buf' buffer in
'dbg_dump_leb()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The intend
is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'c->dbg->buf' buffer and save
128KiB of RAM (or more if PEB size is larger). Indeed, currently we
allocate this memory even if the user never enables any self-check,
which is wasteful.
