UBIFS: fix false space checking failure
This patch fixes UBIFS mount failure when the debugging support is enabled, we are recovering from a power cut, we were first mounter R/O and we are re-mounting R/W. In this case we should not assume that the amount of free space before we have re-mounted R/W and after are equivalent, because when we have mounted R/O the file-system is in a non-committed state so the amount of free space is slightly smaller, due to the fact that we cannot predict the amount of free space precisely before we commit. This patch fixes the issue by skipping the debugging check in case of recovery.
