[RFC][PATCH 2/2] xfstests-bld: add experimental support for ubifs

From: Eric Biggers <ebiggers at google.com>

This experimental patch adds ubifs support to kvm-xfstests and
gce-xfstests.  Unlike most filesystems ubifs is not block-device based.
Instead it uses an UBI volume, which is layered above an MTD (raw flash)
device.  Fortunately it's possible to use the block2mtd kernel module to
emulate an MTD device given a block device.  This patch adds an ubifs
xfstests-bld config which uses block2mtd to create MTD devices, then UBI
devices and UBI volumes, that are backed by the kvm-xfstests or
gce-xfstests block devices.

Here are the steps to run kvm-xfstests on ubifs after this patch:

1. Patch ubifs support into xfstests using my other patch
2. Optionally, also apply my encryption patches to xfstests and xfsprogs
3. Build a kernel based on the existing xfstests-bld config but also with:
	CONFIG_MTD=y
	CONFIG_MTD_BLOCK2MTD=y
	CONFIG_MTD_UBI=y
	CONFIG_UBIFS_FS=y
	CONFIG_UBIFS_FS_ENCRYPTION=y
4. Build a kvm-xfstests rootfs that includes mtd-utils
5. Run: kvm-xfstests -c ubifs -g <group> ...

I also tried using QEMU to emulate a MTD device directly, but I couldn't
get it to work; and that definitely won't work for gce-xfstests.

Known issues (other than real test failures):

- The first time ubifs tests are run, it takes a long time to format the
  emulated MTD devices.  I don't know of a way around this other than
  simply using smaller devices.

- Using the same block devices for other filesystems and for MTD
  emulation can cause problems, e.g. without rebooting the VM, it's not
  possible to run tests on another filesystem after ubifs because
  block2mtd does not support removing MTD devices.
