      [JFFS2] fix mount crash caused by removed nodes · 4c41bd0e

      At scan time we observed following scenario:
      
         node A inserted
         node B inserted
         node C inserted -> sets overlapped flag on node B
      
         node A is removed due to CRC failure -> overlapped flag on node B remains
      
         while (tn->overlapped)
         	 tn = tn_prev(tn);
      
         ==> crash, when tn_prev(B) is referenced.
      
      When the ultimate node is removed at scan time and the overlapped flag
      is set on the penultimate node, then nothing updates the overlapped
      flag of that node. The overlapped iterators blindly expect that the
      ultimate node does not have the overlapped flag set, which causes the
      scan code to crash.
      
      It would be a huge overhead to go through the node chain on node
      removal and fix up the overlapped flags, so detecting such a case on
      the fly in the overlapped iterators is a simpler and reliable
      solution.
