[PATCH 13/25] ubifs: introduce a field named as budgeted to ubifs_inode

There is a long-term pain in ubifs, we have to introduce a
ui_mutex in ubifs_inode to solve two problems below:

1: make some process atomic, such as ubifs_rename.
2: make sure we budget space for inode before dirting it.

About 1, it's true and we have to do it.

About 2, we can do it better.
	There is a ubifs_assert(mutex_is_locked(&ui->mutex)) in
ubifs_dirty_inode(). But there is probably some processes
are very long, and we can not make all of it into a pair of
lock/unlock ui->mutex.

E.g: dquot_disable().
	It would mark the quota files as dirty and write the
inode back. We can do a budget before this function, but we
can not make the whole dquot_disable() into mutex_lock/mutex_unlock.
Because we need to lock the ui_mutex in dquot_disable().

So, this commit introduce a ui->budgeted to allow us to make
budgeting and dirting in two different lock windows.

Result:
	ubifs_budget_space()
	mutex_lock();
	ui->budgeted = 1;
	mutex_unlock();
	...
	dquot_disable();
