Subject: [RFC PATCH mtd-utils 021/110] ubifs-utils: Add linux kernel error conversion definitions

Add linux kernel error conversion definitions, because there are
many error type conversions(eg. PTR_ERR, ERR_PTR) used in UBIFS
linux kernel libs.

This is a preparation for replacing implementation of UBIFS utils with
linux kernel libs.
