UBI: do not put eraseblocks to the corrupted list unnecessarily
Currently UBI maintains 2 lists of PEBs during scanning: 1. 'erase' list - PEBs which have no corruptions but should be erased 2. 'corr' list - PEBs which have some corruptions and should be erased But we do not really need 2 lists for PEBs which should be erased after scanning is done - this is redundant. So this patch makes sure all PEBs which are corrupted are moved to the head of the 'erase' list. We add them to the head to make sure they are erased first and we get rid of corruption ASAP. However, we do not remove the 'corr' list and realted functions, because the plan is to use this list for other purposes. Namely, we plan to put eraseblocks with corruption which does not look like it was caused by unclean power cut. Then we'll preserve thes PEBs in order to avoid killing potentially valuable user data. This patch also amends PEBs accounting, because it was closely tight to the 'erase'/'corr' lists separation. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
