[Yaffs] lazyLoaded field needed?

[Charles Manning]

No it is not currently needed. I used it in some experimental stuff that
I dumped. I will probably use it again some time, hopefully soon when I
play with the lazy loading again, but it would be safe to pull it out.

BTW The idea with lazy loading is to speed up mount scanning by not
loading all the object details at scan time. Instead, we can defer this
to when the file is accessed. This saves time and defers detail loading
to first file access.
