4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Sascha Hauer s.hauer@pengutronix.de
commit f78e5623f45bab2b726eec29dc5cefbbab2d0b1c upstream.
The fastmap update code might erase the current fastmap anchor PEB in case it doesn't find any new free PEB. When a power cut happens in this situation we must not have any outdated fastmap anchor PEB on the device, because that would be used to attach during next boot. The easiest way to make that sure is to erase all outdated fastmap anchor PEBs synchronously during attach.
