UBI: Add ubi_open_volume_path

Browse Source 
Add an 'ubi_open_volume_path(path, mode)' function which works like
'open_bdev_exclusive(path, mode, ...)' where path is the special file
representing the UBI volume, typically /dev/ubi0_0.

This is needed to teach UBIFS being able to mount UBI character devices.

[Comments and the patch were amended a bit by Artem]
