UBIFS: use anonymous device
UBIFS has erroneuosly set 'sb->s_dev' to the UBI volume character device major/minor. This may lead to clashes if there is another FS mounted to a block device with the same major/minor numbers. User-space programs which use 'stat->st_dev' may get confused because of this. This problem was found by Al Viro. He also pointed the way to fix the problem - use 'set_anon_super()' and 'kill_anon_super()' VFS helpers. Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
