UBI: reduce memory consumption
Remove the pre-allocated 'peb_buf2' buffer because we do not really need it. The only reason UBI has it is to check that the data were written correctly. But we do not have to have 2 buffers for this and waste RAM - we can just compare CRC checksums instead. This reduces UBI memory consumption.
