When the volume resize operation shrinks a volume, LEBs will be unmapped. Since unmapping will not erase these LEBs immediately we have to wait for that operation to finish. Otherwise in case of a power cut right after writing the new volume table the UBI attach process can find more LEBs than the volume table knows. This will render the UBI image unattachable. Fix this issue by waiting for erase to complete and write the new volume table afterward.
