UBIFS: pre-allocate bulk-read buffer

To avoid memory allocation failure during bulk-read, pre-allocate
a bulk-read buffer, so that if there is only one bulk-reader at
a time, it would just use the pre-allocated buffer and would not
do any memory allocation. However, if there are more than 1 bulk-
reader, then only one reader would use the pre-allocated buffer,
while the other reader would allocate the buffer for itself.
