suspect UBIFS async operations causing issues during reboot

[Scott Branden]

We are doing reboot testing with UBIFS on the 3.10 kernel with a new 
chipset we are working on.

Over 1000's of reboots we eventually find that the NAND has 
uncorrectable ECC errors reported on a random page when it is mounted.

We have found the problem is that a NAND erase operation is in progress 
when the reboot occurs. Since the NAND is in the middle of the erase 
operation the page is mostly FF with some random bits not erased when 
the reboot occurs.

We suspect the problem is the asynchronous nature of the UBIFS 
operations.  Perhaps the small write buffer that can take 3-5 seconds to 
be written or some other operation occuring in UBI/UBIFS?  I don't think 
the shutdown of the filesystem is dealing with all the threads properly.

Log below with printks adding in iproc_nand driver showing erase 
operations in progress when "Restarting system." happens.
