Introduce 'ubi->bad_peb_limit', which specifies an upper limit of PEBs
ubi expects to go bad.
Currently, it is initialized to a fixed percentage of total PEBs in the
ubi device (configurable via CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT).

The 'bad_peb_limit' is intended to be used for calculating the amount of
PEBs ubi needs to reserve for bad eraseblock handling.

I've also amended the Kconfig text a tiny bit and dropped the defconfig
changes - let's have them separately as a single patch at the end of the
series.

Wouldn't having the defconfig change as the last patch break things for
those defconfigs that had explicitly set CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE
other than the default?

Meaning, if the one-before-last would be "kill CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE",
then those defconfigs that had _explicitly_ set a BEB_RESERVE value,
which do not YET set a BEB_LIMIT value, will have their BEB_LIMIT as
the default - but they actually meant a specific value other than the
default.

This is why I tried to:
- set the CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_LIMIT in defconfigs as part of the commit
  which introduces this config (copy same value as their RESERVE config)
- kill all CONFIG_MTD_UBI_BEB_RESERVE references from defconfigs as part
  of the commit which kills it

Regards,
Shmulik

OK, fair enough, but let's have it as a 2 separate patches anyway. It is
not a big deal to first change the defconfig, and then actually add the
new option.
