ubi: Make recover_peb power cut aware

commit 972228d87445dc46c0a01f5f3de673ac017626f7 upstream.

recover_peb() was never power cut aware,
if a power cut happened right after writing the VID header
upon next attach UBI would blindly use the new partial written
PEB and all data from the old PEB is lost.

In order to make recover_peb() power cut aware, write the new
VID with a proper crc and copy_flag set such that the UBI attach
process will detect whether the new PEB is completely written
or not.
We cannot directly use ubi_eba_atomic_leb_change() since we'd
have to unlock the LEB which is facing a write error.
