Add a new rp_size= parameter which creates a "reserved pool" of disk
space which can only be used by root. Other users are not permitted
to write to disk when the available space is less than the pool size.

Based on original code by Artem Bityutskiy in

I think it is ok to merge this patch because JFFS2 is slowly dying and
adding new features like superblock would be too intrusive. Pushed to
l2-mtd.git, thanks.

I've changed that to if (capable(CAP_SYS_RESOURCE)) rather than having a
hard-coded check for the root user, which is usually the wrong thing to
do. Please test.

Yes, this works fine.

Thanks!
