ubifs: Enable authentication support
With the preparations all being done this patch now enables authentication support for UBIFS. Authentication is enabled when the newly introduced auth_key and auth_hash_name mount options are passed. auth_key provides the key which is used for authentication whereas auth_hash_name provides the hashing algorithm used for this FS. Passing these options make authentication mandatory and only UBIFS images that can be authenticated with the given key are allowed.
