Instead of creating an ubifs file system with format version 5 by
default on empty UBI volumes use the older format 4 by default. This
will make it possible to mount these file systems also on older kernel
versions.
When a user wants to do a sysupgrade from kernel 4.14 to kernel 4.9 the
old kernel has to read the file system created by the more recent kernel
which currently does not work for ubifs.
This fixes the problem by creating file systems which are compatible
with older kernel versions by default.
Kernel 4.14 will still be able to read and write UBI FS file system
version 5, it will just not be used when a ubifs partition is created
implicitly on an empty UBI volume.

This replaces the current patches used to make the kernel headers
compatible with musl with the version which was accepted upstream. This
is included in upstream kernel 4.15.
This was compile tested with iproute2 build on all supported kernel
versions with musl and one one with glibc.

This backports upstream support for "compatible" DT property set for the
"partitions" subnode of flash node. It allows specifying how partitions
should be created/parsed. Right now only "fixed-partitions" is
supported.
It should eventually replace our downstream "linux,part-probe" solution.

The underlying issue breaking Spansion flash has been fixed with "mtd: spi-nor:
wait until lock/unlock operations are ready" and "mtd: spi-nor: wait for SR_WIP
to clear on initial unlock", so we can support unlocking for Winbond flash
again.
This is necessary to have writable flash on certain UBNT devices with some
bootloader versions.

Rename unwinder config symbols to match upstream changes.
Refresh patches.
Update patch that no longer applies: 202-reduce_module_size.patch
Also enable CONFIG_PAGE_TABLE_ISOLATION. This feature was backported
from 4.15 to the 4.14 stable series. It is enabled by default, so enable
it in OpenWrt as well.
Compile-tested on x86/64.
Runtime-tested on x86/64.

A few UBI messages lacks the trailing newline character which
leads to ugly lines in the bootlog like this:
[ 6.649159] UBI error: no valid UBI magic found inside mtd6[ 6.667751] Freeing unused kernel memory: 2196K
Add a newline character to the end of the messages to fix it.
After the fix the line from above looks better in the log:
[ 6.609182] UBI error: no valid UBI magic found inside mtd6
[ 6.627599] Freeing unused kernel memory: 2132K

This adds initial support for kernel 4.14 based on the patches for
kernel 4.9.
In the configuration I deactivated some of the new possible security
features like:
CONFIG_REFCOUNT_FULL
CONFIG_SLAB_FREELIST_HARDENED
CONFIG_SOFTLOCKUP_DETECTOR
CONFIG_WARN_ALL_UNSEEDED_RANDOM
And these overlay FS options are also deactivated:
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_INDEX
CONFIG_OVERLAY_FS_REDIRECT_DIR
I activated this:
CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE
CONFIG_POSIX_TIMERS
CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT
CONFIG_WATCHDOG_HANDLE_BOOT_ENABLED
I am not sure if I did the porting correct for the following patches:
target/linux/generic/backport-4.14/020-backport_netfilter_rtcache.patch
target/linux/generic/hack-4.14/220-gc_sections.patch
