[34-longterm 030/196] UBIFS: do not read flash unnecessarily

[Paul Gortmaker]

From: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@xxxxxxxxx>

                   -------------------
    This is a commit scheduled for the next v2.6.34 longterm release.
    If you see a problem with using this for longterm, please comment.
                   -------------------

commit 8b229c76765816796eec7ccd428f03bd8de8b525 upstream.

This fix makes the 'dbg_check_old_index()' function return
immediately if debugging is disabled, instead of executing
incorrect 'goto out' which causes UBIFS to:

1. Allocate memory
2. Read the flash

On every commit. OK, we do not commit that often, but it is
still silly to do unneeded I/O anyway.

Credits to coverity for spotting this silly issue.
