One case is after we update kernel image, f2fs module may no longer support
compress algorithm which current file was compressed with, to avoid triggering
IO with empty compress engine (struct f2fs_compress_ops pointer):

It needs to add f2fs_is_compress_backend_ready() check condition here?

Thanks,
