Subject: [GIT PULL] UBIFS recovery fixes for 2.6.39

Hi Linus,

here are 2 more UBIFS recovery failure fixes which I'd like to merge upstream and
to -stable. These patches fix the situation when UBIFS fails to mount the file-system
after a power cut. I've been testing the 2 patches extensively for a week, so I'm
quite confident they do not break anything and I cannot reproduce the mount failures
with them. Please, pull.

The following changes since commit 8e10cd74342c7f5ce259cceca36f6eba084f5d58:

  Linux 2.6.39-rc5 (2011-04-26 20:48:50 -0700)

are available in the git repository at:
  git://git.infradead.org/ubifs-2.6.git for-linus

Artem Bityutskiy (2):
      UBIFS: do not free write-buffers when in R/O mode
      UBIFS: seek journal heads to the latest bud in replay
