[PATCH 14/21] UBI: Fastmap: Erase PEBs synchronous in wear_leveling_worker()

Fastmap calls ubi_wl_flush() to ensure that no PEBs are in flight.
But if ubi_wl_flush() runs the WL-worker the worker may inject
new erase work which runs later.
This PEBs are not visible to fastmap and leak.
So solve this erase PEBs synchronous in wear_leveling_worker().
