[PATCH 1/5] ubi: introduce ubi->bad_peb_limit

[Shmulik Ladkani]

Introduce 'ubi->bad_peb_limit', which specifies an upper limit of PEBs
ubi expects to go bad.
Currently, it is initialized to a fixed percentage of total PEBs in the
ubi device (configurable via CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT).

The 'bad_peb_limit' is intended to be used for calculating the amount of
PEBs ubi needs to reserve for bad eraseblock handling.
