Artem Bityutskiy 944fdef52c UBIFS: do not start the commit if there is nothing to commit
This patch fixes suboptimal UBIFS 'sync_fs()' implementation which causes
flash I/O even if the file-system is synchronized. E.g., a 'printk()'
in the MTD erasure function (e.g., 'nand_erase_nand()') can show that
for every 'sync' shell command UBIFS erases at least one eraseblock.

So '$ while true; do sync; done' will cause huge amount of flash I/O.

The reason for this is that UBIFS commits in 'sync_fs()', and starts the
commit even if there is nothing to commit, e.g., it anyway changes the
log. This patch adds a check in the 'do_commit()' UBIFS functions which
prevents the commit if there is nothing to commit.
