[PATCHv8] UBI: new module ubiblk: block layer on top of UBI

ubiblk is a read-only block layer on top of UBI. It presents UBI volumes as
read-only block devices (named ubiblkX_Y, where X is the UBI device number
and Y the Volume ID).
It is used by putting a block filesystem image on a UBI volume, creating the
corresponding ubiblk device and then mounting it.
It uses the UBI API to register to UBI notifications and to read from the
volumes. It also creates a ubiblk_ctrl device node that simply receives ioctl
from a userspace tool for creating/removing ubiblk devices.
Some code is taken from mtd_blkdevs and gluebi. Some code for the ioctl part is
also inspired from ubi's core.
Advantages of ubiblk over gluebi+mtdblock_ro:
* Simpler architecture
* The numbering of devices is much easier with ubiblk than with
gluebi+mtdblock_ro. With gluebi+mtdblock_ro, you get one additional MTD
device for each UBI volume, so the number of MTD devices grows quite a lot
and is a bit difficult to understand. For example, mtdblock[0-4] might be
your real MTD partitions, while mtdblock[5-9] might be your UBI volumes.
It also means that if a new real MTD partition is added, the index of all the
MTD devices exposing UBI volumes will be shifted by one, which is a bit
confusing/annoying.
As well, if you add an UBI volume, the mtdblock devices that are emulated on
top of volumes that come after this new one will have their ID incremented.
* ubiblk devices are created on a 'on-demand' basis, which avoids wasting
resources.
* It is also possible to specify a "volume" parameter in order to create a
ubiblk device at init time. This makes possible to put a rootfs on a ubiblk
device. Format: "<ubi device number>:<volume name|volume ID>"
* The performance appears to be slightly better with ubiblk than
gluebi+mtdblock_ro, according to our benchmarks (see
http://elinux.org/Flash_Filesystem_Benchmarks_2.6.39)

changes since v7:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
* It is now possible to pass the volume id OR the volume name in the "volume"
parameter. The two functions responsible for that have been reorganized and
renamed.

+ This option adds ubiblk, which creates a read-ony block device from
+ UBI volumes. It makes it possible to use R/O block filesystems on
+ top of UBI volumes (and hence, on top of MTDs while avoiding bad

+ ubiblk devices are created by invoking appropriate ioctl to the
