This patch fixes an issue when ubifs reads a bad superblock. Later it
tries to free memory, that was not allocated, which freezes u-boot.
This is fixed by looking for a non null pointer before free.
The message I got before u-boot freezes:

ubifsmount is not working and causes an access with
a pointer set to zero because the ubifs_fs_type
is not initialized correctly.

Now UBIFS is supported by u-boot. If we ever decide to change the
media format, then people will have to upgrade their u-boots to
mount new format images. However, very often it is possible to
preserve R/O forward-compatibility, even though the write
forward-compatibility is not preserved.
This patch introduces a new super-block field which stores the
R/O compatibility version.

The U-Boot UBIFS implementation is largely a direct copy from the current
Linux version (2.6.29-rc6). As already done in the UBI version we have an
"abstraction layer" to redefine or remove some OS calls (e.g. mutex_lock()
...). This makes it possible to use the original Linux code with very
little changes. And by this we can better update to later Linux versions.
I removed some of the Linux features that are not used in the U-Boot
version (e.g. garbage-collection, write support).
