[JFFS2] Check whether garbage-collection actually obsoleted its victim. In OLPC trac #4184 we found a case where a corrupted node didn't actually get obsoleted when we tried to garbage-collect it. So we wrote out many million copies of it, in repeated attempts to obsolete it, until the flash became full. Don't Do That. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
