[ECOS] cyg_fs_lock() problem with jffs2 garbage collect

Hi,
Thanks Andrew for spending time on this.

I had one idea to implement the call to jffs2_garbage_collect_pass(c) as a 
getinfo function for jffs2 and then do something like 
cyg_fs_getinfo( "/", FS_JFFS2_GARBAGE_COLLECT, &info, sizeof(info)) from the
gc_thread. But this solution still requires a valid mount point for the
filesystem. This would also allow the embedded application to force garbage
collection at a suitable moment.
