UBIFS: add the fixup function

This patch adds the 'ubifs_fixup_free_space()' function which scans all
LEBs in the filesystem for those that are in-use but have one or more
empty pages, then re-maps the LEBs in order to erase the empty portions.
Afterward it removes the "space_fixup" flag from the UBIFS superblock.
