sync with linux v4.2
commit 64291f7db5bd8150a74ad2036f1037e6a0428df2
Author: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Linux 4.2
This update is needed, as it turned out, that fastmap
was in experimental/broken state in kernel v3.15, which
was the last base for U-Boot.

U-Boot has imported various source files from other projects,
mostly Linux.
Something like
#ifdef __UBOOT__
[ modification for U-Boot ]
#else
[ original code ]
#endif
is an often used strategy for clarification of adjusted parts,
that is, easier re-sync in future.
Instead of defining __UBOOT__ in each source file,
passing it from the top Makefile would be easier.

Linux 3.14
A nice side effect of this, is we introduce UBI Fastmap support
to U-Boot.

The U-Boot UBIFS implementation is largely a direct copy from the current
Linux version (2.6.29-rc6). As already done in the UBI version we have an
"abstraction layer" to redefine or remove some OS calls (e.g. mutex_lock()
...). This makes it possible to use the original Linux code with very
little changes. And by this we can better update to later Linux versions.
I removed some of the Linux features that are not used in the U-Boot
version (e.g. garbage-collection, write support).
