jffs2: allow to discriminate between recoverable and non-recoverable errors
This patch is basically a revert of commit f326966b. It allows JFFS2 to make the distinction between a potential transient error (reading or writing the media) and a non recoverable error like a bad CRC on the extended attribute data or some insconsitent parameters. In order to make clear that the error is indeed intended to report a corrupted attribute, a new local error code (JFFS2_XATTR_IS_CORRUPTED) is introduced rather than returning a confusing positive EIO, which is what led to the inappropriate "fix" last time. This error code is never reported to user space and only checked locally in this file.
