UBI: do not allocate the memory unnecessarily
UBI reserves an LEB sized buffer for various needs. We can use this buffer while scanning, instead of allocating another one. This patch was originally created by Jan Luebbe <jlu@pengutronix.de>, but then he dropped it and I picked up and tweaked a little bit.
