Subject: [PATCH v2] jffs2: fix jffs2 mounting failure

Mounting jffs2 on nand flash will get message "failed: I/O error"
with the steps listed below.
1.erase nand flash
2.mount jffs2 on it (this mounting operation will be successful)
3.do chown or chmod to the mount point directory
4.umount jffs2
5.mount jffs2 on nand flash
After step 5, we will get message "mount ... failed: I/O error".

Typical image of this problem is like:
Empty space found from 0x00000000 to 0x008a0000
Inode node at xx, totlen 0x00000044, #ino 1, version 1, isize 0...

The reason for this mounting failure is that at the end of function
jffs2_scan_medium(), jffs2 will check the used_size and some info
of nr_blocks.If conditions are met, it will return -EIO.

The detail is that, in the steps listed above, step 3 will write
jffs2_raw_inode into flash without jffs2_raw_dirent, which will
cause that there are some jffs2_raw_inode but no jffs2_raw_dirent
on flash. This will meet the condition at the end of function
jffs2_scan_medium() and return -EIO if we umount jffs2 and mount it
again.

This patch add a flag in struct jffs2_sb_info to identify the info of
jffs2_raw_inode on flash. The info of jffs2_raw_inode can be devided
into two type--jffs2_raw_inode with ino != 1 and ino == 1. When we
do chown or chmod to the mount point directory, jffs2_raw_inode with
ino == 1 will be written into flash. So this flag use this flag to
identify this case and return success.
