[RFC/PATCH] mtd: ubi: Free peb's synchronously for fastmap

[Tanya Brokhman]

At first mount it's possible that there are not enough free PEBs since
there are PEB's pending to be erased. In such scenario, fm_pool (which is
the pool from which user required PEBs are allocated) will be empty.
Try fixing the above described situation by synchronously performing
pending erase work, thus produce another free PEB.
