UBIFS read performance can be improved by skipping the CRC
check when data nodes are read. This option can be used if
the underlying media is considered to be highly reliable.
Note that CRCs are always checked for metadata.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 19 MiB/s
to 27 MiB/s with data CRC checking disabled.

Some flash media are capable of reading sequentially at faster rates.
UBIFS bulk-read facility is designed to take advantage of that, by
reading in one go consecutive data nodes that are also located
consecutively in the same LEB.
Read speed on Arm platform with OneNAND goes from 17 MiB/s to
19 MiB/s.

IS_ERR() macro already has unlikely(), so do not use constructions
like 'if (unlikely(IS_ERR())'.

- update GC sequence number if any nodes may have been moved
even if GC did not finish the LEB
- don't ignore error return when reading

The TNC mutex is unlocked prematurely when reading leaf nodes
with non-hashed keys. This is unsafe because the node may be
moved by garbage collection and the eraseblock unmapped, although
that has never actually happened during stress testing.
This patch fixes the flaw by detecting the race and retrying with
the TNC mutex locked.

Leaf-nodes that have a hashed key are stored in the
leaf-node-cache (LNC) which is protected by the TNC
mutex. Consequently, when reading a leaf node with
a hashed key (i.e. directory entries, xattr entries)
the TNC mutex is always required.
