UBI: fix mtd device string parsing
UBI allows to specify MTD device name or number when the module is being
loaded. When parsing MTD device identity string, it first tries to treat
it as device NAME, and if that fails, it treats it as device number.
Make it vice-versa as this is more logical and makes less troubles when
you have an MTD device named "1" and try to load mtd1 which has different
name. This is especially easy to hit when gluebi is enabled.

When the WL worker is moving an LEB, the volume might go away

also makes gcc shut up, so we generate one less line of warning noise.
The idea of this interface belongs to Adrian Hunter. The
interface is extremely useful when one has to have a guarantee
that an LEB will contain all 0xFFs even in case of an unclean
reboot. UBI does have an 'ubi_leb_erase()' call which may do
this, but it is stupid and ineffecient, because it flushes whole

map calls.
First allocate the necessary eraseblocks, then the optional ones.
Otherwise it allocates all PEBs for bad EB handling, and fails
on then following EBA LEB allocation.

UBI: fix error code in ubi_io_read()
When NAND detects an ECC error, it returns -EBADMSG. It does not
stop reading requested data if one page has an ECC error, it keeps
going and reads all the requested data. If it fails to read all
the data, it does not return -EBADMSG, but returns the error code
which reflects the reason of the failure.
But some drivers may have bugs (e.g., OneNAND had) and stop reading
after the first ECC error, so it returns -EBADMSG. In turn, UBI
propagates this up to the caller. The caller will treat this as
"all the requested data was read, but there was an ECC error".
So we change the error code to -EIO if it is -EBADMSG and the read
length is less then the requested length. We also add an assertion,
so if UBI debugging is enabled, UBI will bug.

This patch adds the symbol "init_level4_pgt" to the vmcoreinfo data so
that makedumpfile (dump filtering command) supports x86_64 sparsemem

makedumpfile creates a small dumpfile by excluding unnecessary pages for

necessary pages and unnecessary ones. To check them, makedumpfile gets
the vmcoreinfo data which has the minimum debugging information only for
dump filtering.
For older x86_64 kernel (linux-2.6.23 or before), makedumpfile translates
the virtual address of page structure into physical address by subtracting
PAGE_OFFSET from virtual address, but this translation isn't effective for
linux-2.6.24 sparsemem kernel, because its page structures are in virtual
memmap area. makedumpfile should translate their virtual address by 4-levels
