UBIFS: do not check data crc by default
Change the default UBIFS behavior WRT data CRC checking. Currently, UBIFS checks data CRC when reading, which slows it down quite a bit, and this is the default option. However, it looks like in average user does not need this feature and would prefer faster read speed over extra reliability. And this seems to be de-facto standard that file-systems do not check data CRC every time they read from the media. Thus, make UBIFS default behavior so that it does not check data CRC. This corresponds to the no_chk_data_crc mount option. Those users who need extra protection can always enable it using the chk_data_crc option. Please, read more information about this feature here: http://www.linux-mtd.infradead.org/doc/ubifs.html#L_checksumming Signed-off-by: Artem Bityutskiy <Artem.Bityutskiy@nokia.com>
