ubifs: support offline signed images
HMACs can only be generated on the system the UBIFS image is running on. To support offline signed images we add a PKCS#7 signature to the UBIFS image which can be created by mkfs.ubifs. Both the master node and the superblock need to be authenticated, during normal runtime both are protected with HMACs. For offline signature support however only a single signature is desired. We add a signature covering the superblock node directly behind it. To protect the master node a hash of the master node is added to the superblock which is used when the master node doesn't contain a HMAC. Transition to a read/write filesystem is also supported. During transition first the master node is rewritten with a HMAC (implicitly, it is written anyway as the FS is marked dirty). Afterwards the superblock is rewritten with a HMAC. Once after the image has been mounted read/write it is HMAC only, the signature is no longer required or even present on the filesystem. In an offline signed image the master node is authenticated by the superblock. In a transition to r/w we have to make sure that the master node is rewritten before the superblock node. In this case the master node gets a HMAC and its authenticity no longer depends on the superblock node. There are some cases in which the current code first writes the superblock node though, so with this patch writing of the superblock node is delayed until the master node is written.

Enable authentication support for UBIFS. This feature offers protection
against offline changes for both data and metadata of the filesystem.
