UBIFS: fix recovery broken by the previous recovery fix
Unfortunately, the recovery fix d1606a59b6be4ea392eabd40d1250aa1eeb19efb
(UBIFS: fix extremely rare mount failure) broke recovery. This commit make
UBIFS drop the last min. I/O unit in all journal heads, but this is needed only
for the GC head. And this does not work for non-GC heads. For example, if
suppose we have min. I/O units A and B, and A contains a valid node X, which
was fsynced, and then a group of nodes Y which spans the rest of A and B. In
this case we'll drop not only Y, but also X, which is obviously incorrect.
This patch fixes the issue and additionally makes recovery to drop last min.
I/O unit only for the GC head, and leave things as they have been for ages for
the other heads - this is safer.
