jffs2: Fix use of uninitialized delayed_work, lockdep breakage

jffs2_sync_fs makes the assumption that if CONFIG_JFFS2_FS_WRITEBUFFER
is defined then a write buffer is available and has been initialized.
However, this does is not the case when the mtd device has no
out-of-band buffer:

int jffs2_nand_flash_setup(struct jffs2_sb_info *c)
{
        if (!c->mtd->oobsize)
                return 0;
...

The resulting call to cancel_delayed_work_sync passing a uninitialized
(but zeroed) delayed_work struct forces lockdep to become disabled.
