[PATCH 1/3] UBI: introduce new bad PEB limit

From: Shmulik Ladkani <shmulik.ladkani at gmail.com>

Introduce 'ubi->bad_peb_limit', which specifies an upper limit of PEBs
UBI expects to go bad.  Currently, it is initialized to a fixed percentage
of total PEBs in the UBI device (configurable via CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT).

The 'bad_peb_limit' is intended to be used for calculating the amount of PEBs
UBI needs to reserve for bad eraseblock handling.

Artem: minor amendments.
