Subject: [Trivial Patch] Remove JFFS2 dependency on internal Zlib header (take 2)

No code besides zlib itself should depend on linux/zutil.h - the only item 
JFFS2 uses from that header is a constant that is defined in RFC 1950 and 
should never change. This patch mirrors the #define in zutil.h and removes 
the #include.
