We'll need the 'struct ubi_device *ubi' pointer in every debugging function (to
access the -&gt;dbg field), so add this pointer to all the functions implementing
UBI debugging test modes like 'ubi_dbg_is_bitflip()' etc.

<title>UBI: use debugfs for the extra checks knobs</title>

This patch introduces debugfs support to UBI. All the UBI stuff is kept in the
"ubi" debugfs directory, which contains per-UBI device "ubi/ubiX"
sub-directories, containing debugging files. This file also creates
"ubi/ubiX/chk_gen" and "ubi/ubiX/chk_io" knobs for switching general and I/O
extra checks on and off. And it removes the 'debug_chks' UBI module parameters.

When a PEB passes the torture test, UBI prints
"do not mark it a bad", but should print "do not mark it as bad".
This patch corrects the typo.

'do_sync_erase()' has to check whether we are in R/O mode before
erasing the PEB. This patch adds the check and while on it, adds an
assertion which validates the 'pnum' argument, as well as removes
a check which is always true because it has already been done
few lines before.

This patch fixes a brown-paperbag bug which was introduced by me:
I used incorrect "GFP_KERNEL | GFP_NOFS" allocation flags to make
sure my allocations do not cause write-back. But the correct form
is "GFP_NOFS".

<title>UBI: make self-checks dynamic</title>

This patch adds a possibility to dynamically switch UBI self-checks
on and off, instead of toggling them compile-time from the configuration
menu. This is much more flexible, and consistent with UBIFS, and this
also simplifies UBI Kconfig menu and the code.

This patch introduces two levels of self-checks - general, which
includes all self-checks which are relatively fast, and I/O, which
includes write-verify checks and erase-verify checks, which are
relatively slow and involve flash I/O.

This additional little macro is used to print a bit more messages
while scanning the media. However, we have the 'dbg_bld()' macro
for this, so we better us 'dbg_bld()' and kill UBI_IO_DEBUG. This
simplifies the code a tiny bit.

<title>UBI: allocate erase checking buffer on demand</title>

Instead of using pre-allocated 'ubi-&gt;dbg_peb_buf' buffer in
'ubi_dbg_check_all_ff()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The
intend is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'ubi-&gt;dbg_peb_buf' buffer
completely. And the need for this arises because we want to change
to dynamic debugging control instead of compile-time control, i.e.,
we are going to kill the CONFIG_MTD_UBI_DEBUG_PARANOID Kconfig
option, which would mean that 'ubi-&gt;dbg_peb_buf' is always allocated,
which would be wasteful.

Thus, we are getting rid of 'ubi-&gt;dbg_peb_buf', and this is a
preparation for that.
