[PATCH] fs: jffs2: remove slab cache substitute with malloc

[Holger Assmann <h.assmann@pengutronix.de>]

From: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@pengutronix.de>

Function jffs2_create_slab_caches() was called by the probing stage
every time a new jffs2 volume was mounted. This has lead to the memory
allocation pointers for slab caches to become overwritten. As a result
the system crashes at least when trying to unmount more than one volume.

In Barebox, the respective (pseudo) slab caches are designed to work as a
substitute when code gets ported from Linux. They are no real caches, but
function as an interface for malloc and can therefore directly be replaced
by it.

Furthermore, the compressor initialization also suffered from being
called with every probing of a jffs2 volume. We therefore introduce a
variable that counts the amount of jffs2 probing and ensures compressor
init/exit only to happen with the first/last volume being (un)mouted.
