The leb_fixup flag can be set in the superblock of a new filesystem by
mkfs.ubifs to indicate that the filesystem's underlying eraseblocks should be
fixed-up the first time it's mounted (after which the flag is un-set).

I think "LEB fixup" is not the best name. In essence, we are fixing up
the free space, not LEBs perse, so I'd suggest the "free space fix-up"
as the long name and "space_fixup" as the short name for this process.

I think this comment is much more confusing than useful, let's kill it.
