To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate
a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at
a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not
do any memory allocation. However, if there are more than 1 bulk-
reader, then only one reader would use the pre-allocated buffer,
while the other reader would allocate the buffer for itself.

Bulk-read allocates 128KiB or more using kmalloc. The allocation
starts failing often when the memory gets fragmented. UBIFS still
works fine in this case, because it falls-back to standard
(non-optimized) read method, though. This patch teaches bulk-read
to allocate exactly the amount of memory it needs, instead of
allocating 128KiB every time.
This patch is also a preparation to the further fix where we'll
have a pre-allocated bulk-read buffer as well. For example, now
the @bu object is prepared in 'ubifs_bulk_read()', so we could
path either pre-allocated or allocated information to
'ubifs_do_bulk_read()' later. Or teaching 'ubifs_do_bulk_read()'
not to allocate 'bu->buf' if it is already there.

Bulk-read allocates a lot of memory with 'kmalloc()', and when it
is/gets fragmented 'kmalloc()' fails with a scarry warning. But
because bulk-read is just an optimization, UBIFS keeps working fine.
Supress the warning by passing __GFP_NOWARN option to 'kmalloc()'.
This patch also introduces a macro for the magic 128KiB constant.
This is just neater.
Note, this is not really fixes the problem we had, but just hides
the warnings. The further patches fix the problem.

We cannot store bit-fields together if the processes which
change them may race, unless we serialize them.
Thus, move the nospc and nospc_rp bit-fields eway from
the mount option/constant bit-fields, to avoid races.

The "bulk_read" and "no_chk_data_crc" have only 2 values -
0 and 1. We already have bit-fields in corresponding data
structers, so make "bulk_read" and "no_chk_data_crc"
bit-fields as well.

UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC
check when data nodes are read. This option can be used if
the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable.
Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s
to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.

Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates.
UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by
reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located
consecutively in the same LEB.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 17 MiB/s to
19 MiB/s.

'ubifs_get_lprops()' and 'ubifs_release_lprops()' basically wrap
mutex lock and unlock. We have them because we want lprops subsystem
be separate and as independent as possible. And we planned better
locking rules for lprops.
Anyway, because they are short, it is better to inline them.

The TNC mutex is unlocked prematurely when reading leaf nodes
with non-hashed keys. This is unsafe because the node may be
moved by garbage collection and the eraseblock unmapped, although
that has never actually happened during stress testing.

We use ubifs_ro_mode() quite a lot, and not in fast-path, so
there is no reason to blow the code up by having it inlined.
Also, we usually want R/O mode change to be seen to other
