UBIFS: improve statfs reporting
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
Make free space calculation less pessimistic and more realistic,
which in turn improves 'statfs()' reports. Now it lies by 10%-20%,
instead of 20%-30% (10% more honest).

Results of "freespace" test (120MiB volume, 16KiB LEB size,
512 bytes page size). Before the change:
