Was commit 2e8f08deabbc7ee("ubi: Fix races around ubi_refill_pools()")
applied at that time? The WANRON can be triggered without this commit,
because this commit makes sure do_work() cannot happen between
ubi_wl_put_fm_peb() and ubi_write_fastmap().

About erasing fastmap anchor PEB synchronously, I admit curreunt UBI
implementation cannot satisfy it, even with my fix applied. Wait, it
seems that UBI has never made it sure. Old fastmap PEBs could be erased
asynchronously, they could be counted into 'fmh->erase_peb_count' even
in early UBI implementation code, so old fastmap anchor PEB will be
added into 'ai->erase' and be erased asynchronously in next attaching.
But, I feel it is not a problem, find_fm_anchor() can help us find out
the right fastmap anchor PEB according seqnum.

>I think the mainly cause of failed fastmap attaching is half-written of
fastmap. The counter check(eg. WARNON) is okay.
> Fastmap is full with corner cases that have been found by massive amount of testing, sadly.
