PATCH 1/1 UBI: improve messages in ubi_eba_read_leb()

If an error occur while reading from PEBs, for example, an ECC error, ubi_io_read() will print some error messages. But it's not enough for debugging. These messages don't show the mapping info for a read from UBIFS layer.

Although UBIFS will soon print its error messages after catching the return value from UBI layer, multi-path reading will confuse the relationship between LEBs and PEBs showed by these messages, like:

[   38.442770] UBI error: ubi_io_read: error -74 (ECC error) while reading 26624 bytes from PEB 54:104448, read 26624 bytes
[   38.852461] UBI error: ubi_io_read: error -74 (ECC error) while reading 77824 bytes from PEB 346:53248, read 77824 bytes
[   38.864142] UBIFS error (pid 1444): ubifs_recover_leb: corruption -3
[   38.870487] UBIFS error (pid 1444): ubifs_scanned_corruption: corruption at LEB 928:55280
[   38.878625] UBIFS error (pid 1444): ubifs_scanned_corruption: first 8192 bytes from LEB 928:55280
[   38.892117] UBIFS error (pid 1444): ubifs_recover_leb: LEB 928 scanning failed

mount: mounting ubi1:bak on /mountpoint: failed: Structure needs cleaning

This patch improve the output of ubi_eba_read_leb() by printing the mapping of LEB and PEB if an ECC error occur. And also, print PEB and LEB number if a CRC error occur.

As the merge window is already open I'd wait until the next merge window with that patch.
