[PATCH 7/8] ubi: fastmap: Relax size check

While attaching via fastmap we verify whether the found fastmap
is as large as we have computed.
With preseeded Fastmaps this assumtion can fail since ubinize cannot
know the total size of the MTD and uses the number if used PEBs for
the calculation.
Therefore the found fastmap might be smaller than the kernel expects.
