[PATCH] UBIFS: Remove incorrect assertion in shrink_tnc()

[hujianyang]

Hi Artem,

In previous mail, I introduce a condition I found that may hit assert
failed in shrink_tnc(). So I think this assertion is useless. But I
don't know if there are any leaks in @c->clean_zn_cnt. Although I've
done some tests and found everything is OK, I'm still not sure of that.

As you said, there might be some problems in TNC sub-sys. I would like
to add a new ubifs_assert in ubifs_tnc_close().

Patch 83707237 solves a problem if one per-fs @c->clean_zn_cnt is wrong,
it will not harm the global @ubifs_clean_zn_cnt to ensure other ubifs
partitions work well. Suppose there is only one ubifs partition, because
we have decreased global @ubifs_clean_zn_cnt with @c->clean_zn_cnt in
ubifs_tnc_close(), assertion in ubifs_exit() will not be hitted whether
@c->clean_zn_cnt is wrong or not.

How about adding a new ubifs_assert like this? We can know if there are
any leaks in @c->clean_cn_cnt by it but still not know where it happens. I
think if we are confident of TNC sub-sys, this seems not bad.

What's your opinions? If you are not conflict with it. I would like to add
this to the previous patch and resend it.

Thanks!
