ubifs: Remove insert_dead_orphan from replaying orphan process


UBIFS will do commit at the end of mounting process(rw mode), dead
orphans(added by insert_dead_orphan in replaying orphan) are deleted
by ubifs_orphan_end_commit(). The only reason why dead orphans are
added into orphan list is that old orpans may be lost when powercut
happens in ubifs_orphan_end_commit():
ubifs_orphan_end_commit  // TNC(updated by orphans) is not written yet
 if (c->cmt_orphans != 0)
  commit_orphans
   consolidate // traverse orphan list
  write_orph_nodes // rewrite all orphans by ubifs_leb_change
  // If dead orphans are not in list, they will be lost when powercut
  // happens, then TNC won't be updated by old orphans in next mounting.
Luckily, the condition 'c->cmt_orphans != 0' will never be true in
mounting process, there can't be new orphans added into orphan list
before mounting returned, but commit will be done at the end of mounting.
