UBIFS: allocate scanning buffer on demand

Instead of using pre-allocated 'c->dbg->buf' buffer in
'scan_check_cb()', dynamically allocate it when needed. The intend
is to get rid of the pre-allocated 'c->dbg->buf' buffer and save
128KiB of RAM (or more if PEB size is larger). Indeed, currently we
allocate this memory even if the user never enables any self-check,
which is wasteful.
