[PATCH v2 1/2] cpukit/jffs2: Handle used empty file system

On JFFS2 file systems on NOR flash or dataflash that does not have spare
area for metadata and thus does not invoke delayed writes, it is
possible to put the file system into a state where all blocks have been
written to and all files have been deleted from the filesystem. There is
a bug in the JFFS2 file system scan routine that detects this situation
as a corrupted file system since the scan routine relies on "used" space
to discriminate a valid file system when there are blocks that need to
be erased. The correct fix would require a partial rewrite of the scan
routine, so instead this patch tracks the space marked as obsolete along
with space at the end of each block that is otherwise too small to
contain a JFFS2 node so that it can me compared with the dirty space.
Corrupted data (or otherwise non-JFFS2 blocks) will still cause this
check to fail as corrupted data isn't recognized as obsoleted (deleted)
nodes.
