[PATCH 1/2] jffs2: introduce fake wbuf inode

[Artem Bityutskiy]

From: Artem Bityutskiy <artem.bityutskiy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch is just a preparation for further changes. It introduces a special
inode ('wbuf_inode') in JFFS2 file-system which we'll later use for delayed
write-out of the write-buffer.

We do not allocate JFFS2 data structures like 'struct jffs2_inode_info' for
this inode because we won't need them. We allocate the next available inode
number for 'wbuf_inode' after the JFFS2 media is scanned. Of course, wbuf_inode
won't ever be written to the flash media.
