ubifs: Correctly use tnc_next() in search_dh_cookie()
commit bacfa94b upstream. Commit c877154d fixed an uninitialized variable and optimized the function to not call tnc_next() in the first iteration of the loop. While this seemed perfectly legit and wise, it turned out to be illegal. If the lookup function does not find an exact match it will rewind the cursor by 1. The rewinded cursor will not match the name hash we are looking for and this results in a spurious -ENOENT. So we need to move to the next entry in case of an non-exact match, but not if the match was exact. While we are here, update the documentation to avoid further confusion.
