Subject: [PATCH 1/3] f2fs: avoid redundant call to has_not_enough_free_secs in f2fs_gc

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@...sung.com>

After doing a write_checkpoint from garbage collection path if there is still
need to do more garbage collection, gc_more label is used to jump and start
the process again. And in that process, first step before getting victim is to
check if there are not enough free sections, which is already done before
doing a jump to gc_more. We can avoid the redundant call to check free
sections, by checking the gc_type flag which will remain FG_GC(value 1) under
this condition.
