Subject: UBI: block: Add support for the UBI_VOLUME_UPDATED notification
From: Ezequiel Garcia <ezequiel.garcia@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
commit 06d9c2905f745c8b1920a335cbb366ba6b0fc754 upstream.
Static volumes can change its 'used_bytes' when they get updated,
and so the block interface must listen to the UBI_VOLUME_UPDATED
notification to resize the block device accordingly.
