In write_end_io, f2fs_stop_checkpoint will not call f2fs_flush_merged_bios.
One other problem here is it can cause latency during waiting writeback:
In fsync()
1. fsync_node_pages a/b/c pages is submitted, and d/e/f pages is still in bio
cache as we didn't commit the bio in the end.
2. wait_on_node_pages_writeback will wait a/b/c pages for writebacking, then
submit bio with d/e/f pages and the wait until they have writebacked to device.
Here we need to submit cached bios at the end of
fsync_node_pages/sync_node_pages to let them being merged in block layer as much
as possible, and also to avoid suffering more delay time due to double submit&wait.
