Subject: [PATCH] ubifs: Handle LPT corruption better in ubifs_garbage_collect_leb()

If ubifs_garbage_collect_leb() notes a LPT problem, empty LEB, but
LPT has it makred as used, an ubifs_assert() is not enough.
We have to abort GC. Otherwise list_entry() returns an invalid
scan object and the kernel crashes.
