UBI: remove bogus debugging checks
The 'paranoid_check_empty()' is bogus because, which is easilly
seen on NOR flash, which has long erase cycles, and which may
easilly end-up with half-erased eraseblocks. In this case the
paranoid check fails. I is just wrong to assume that PEBs which
do not have EC headers always contain all 0xFF. Such assumption
should not be made on the I/O level, which is quite low.
Thus, just kill the check.
