/**
 * ubi_leb_unmap - un-map logical eraseblock.
 * @desc: volume descriptor
 * @lnum: logical eraseblock number
 *
 * This function un-maps logical eraseblock @lnum and schedules the
 * corresponding physical eraseblock for erasure, so that it will eventually be
 * physically erased in background. This operation is much faster than the
 * erase operation.
 *
 * Unlike erase, the un-map operation does not guarantee that the logical
 * eraseblock will contain all 0xFF bytes when UBI is initialized again. For
 * example, if several logical eraseblocks are un-mapped, and an unclean reboot
 * happens after this, the logical eraseblocks will not necessarily be
 * un-mapped again when this MTD device is attached. They may actually be
 * mapped to the same physical eraseblocks again. So, this function has to be
 * used with care.
 *
 * In other words, when un-mapping a logical eraseblock, UBI does not store
 * any information about this on the flash media, it just marks the logical
 * eraseblock as "un-mapped" in RAM. If UBI is detached before the physical
 * eraseblock is physically erased, it will be mapped again to the same logical
 * eraseblock when the MTD device is attached again.
 *
 * The main and obvious use-case of this function is when the contents of a
 * logical eraseblock has to be re-written. Then it is much more efficient to
 * first un-map it, then write new data, rather than first erase it, then write
 * new data. Note, once new data has been written to the logical eraseblock,
 * UBI guarantees that the old contents has gone forever. In other words, if an
 * unclean reboot happens after the logical eraseblock has been un-mapped and
 * then written to, it will contain the last written data.
 *
 * This function returns zero in case of success and a negative error code in
 * case of failure. If the volume is damaged because of an interrupted update
 * this function just returns immediately with %-EBADF code.
