[1] suggests that fastmap is suitable for large flash devices. Module
parameter 'fm_autoconvert' is a coarse grained switch to enable all
ubi devices to generate fastmap, which may turn on fastmap even for
small flash devices.
This patch imports a new field 'disable_fm' in struct 'ubi_attach_req'
to support following situations by ioctl 'UBI_IOCATT'.
[old functions]
A. Disable 'fm_autoconvert': Disbable fastmap for all ubi devices
B. Enable 'fm_autoconvert': Enable fastmap for all ubi devices
[new function]
C. Enable 'fm_autoconvert', set 'disable_fm' for given device: Don't
create new fastmap and do full scan (existed fastmap will be
destroyed) for the given ubi device.
A simple test case in [2].
