UBIFS: fully sort GCed nodes
The 'joinup()' function cannot deal with situations when nodes go in reverse order - it just leaves them in this order. This patch implement full nodes sorting using n*log(n) algorithm. It sorts data nodes for bulk-read, and direntry nodes for readdir(). Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
