UBI: allow direct user-space I/O
Introduce a new ioctl UBI_IOCSETPROP to set properties on a volume. Also add the first property: UBI_PROP_DIRECT_WRITE, this property is used to set the ability to use direct writes in userspace Signed-off-by: Sidney Amani <seed@uffs.org> Signed-off-by: Corentin Chary <corentincj@iksaif.net> Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
