This patch provides the possibility to adjust the "maximum expected number of
bad blocks per 1024 blocks" (max_beb_per1024) for each mtd device.

The majority of NAND devices have their max_beb_per1024 equal to 20, but
sometimes it's more.
Now, we can adjust that via a kernel parameter:
ubi.mtd=<name|num|path>[,<vid_hdr_offs>[,max_beb_per1024]]
and via UBI_IOCATT ioctl which is now:
struct ubi_attach_req {
        __s32 ubi_num;
        __s32 mtd_num;
        __s32 vid_hdr_offset;
        __u8 max_beb_per1024;
        __s8 padding[11];
};
