Subject: [PATCH 6/7] f2fs: fix deadlock in add_link failure

mkdir                        sync_dirty_inode
 - init_inode_metadata
   - lock_page(node)
   - make_empty_dir
                             - filemap_fdatawrite()
                              - do_writepages
                              - lock_page(data)
                              - write_page(data)
                               - lock_page(node)
   - f2fs_init_acl
    - error
   - truncate_inode_pages
    - lock_page(data)

So, we don't need to truncate data pages in this error case, which will
be done by f2fs_evict_inode.
