Forgive my stubbornness, I think this strict check is good, could you
show me a process to trigger this WARN_ON, it would be nice to provide a
reproducer.
I still insist the point(after my fix patch applied): All outdated
fastmap PEBs are added into 'ai->fastmap'(full scanning case) or counted
into 'fmhdr->erase_peb_count'(fast attached case).

simulate some of them on nandsim), in theory, I think the WARN_ON check
is okay and all outdated fastmap PEBs can be erased in next attaching:

ubi_update_fastmap:
1565 for (i = 1; i < new_fm->used_blocks; i++) {
1570 if (!tmp_e) {
1571 if (old_fm && old_fm->e[i]) {
/* sync erase old fm data PEBs */
power-cut!!!
1585 } else {
/* async erase old fm data PEBs */
power-cut!!!
1595 }
1596 } else {
1599 if (old_fm && old_fm->e[i]) {
/* async erase old fm data PEBs */
power-cut!!!
1603 }
1604 }
1605 }
1621 if (old_fm) {
1623 if (!tmp_e) {
/* sync erase old fm anchor PEB */
power-cut!!!
1638 } else {
/* async erase old fm anchor PEB */
power-cut!!!
1644 }
1645 } else {
1658 }
1660 ret = ubi_write_fastmap(ubi, new_fm);

ubi_write_fastmap:
1324 ret = ubi_io_write_vid_hdr(ubi, new_fm->e[0]->pnum, avbuf);
power-cut!!!
1345 for (i = 1; i < new_fm->used_blocks; i++) {
1350 ret = ubi_io_write_vid_hdr(...);
power-cut!!!
1356 }

1358 for (i = 0; i < new_fm->used_blocks; i++) {
1359 ret = ubi_io_write_data(...),
power-cut!!!
1366 }
