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.
