    UBIFS: introduce new flag for RO due to errors · 2680d722

    The R/O state may have various reasons:
    
    1. The UBI volume is R/O
    2. The FS is mounted R/O
    3. The FS switched to R/O mode because of an error
    
    However, in UBIFS we have only one variable which represents cases
    1 and 3 - 'c->ro_media'. Indeed, we set this to 1 if we switch to
    R/O mode due to an error, and then we test it in many places to
    make sure that we stop writing as soon as the error happens.
    
    But this is very unclean. One consequence of this, for example, is
    that in 'ubifs_remount_fs()' we use 'c->ro_media' to check whether
    we are in R/O mode because on an error, and we print a message
    in this case. However, if we are in R/O mode because the media
    is R/O, our message is bogus.
    
    This patch introduces new flag - 'c->ro_error' which is set when
    we switch to R/O mode because of an error. It also changes all
    "if (c->ro_media)" checks to "if (c->ro_error)" checks, because
    this is what the checks actually mean. We do not need to check
    for 'c->ro_media' because if the UBI volume is in R/O mode, we
    do not allow R/W mounting, and now writes can happen. This is
    guaranteed by VFS. But it is good to double-check this, so this
    patch also adds many "ubifs_assert(!c->ro_media)" checks.
    
    In the 'ubifs_remount_fs()' function this patch makes a bit more
    changes - it fixes the error messages as well.
