UBIFS: optimize deletions

Every time anything is deleted, UBIFS writes the deletion inode
node twice - once in 'ubifs_jnl_update()' and the second time in
'ubifs_jnl_write_inode()'. However, the second write is not needed
if no commit happened after 'ubifs_jnl_update()'. This patch
checks that condition and avoids writing the deletion inode for
the second time.
