Subject: [PATCH 2/2] f2fs: add sysfs entries to select the gc policy

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

Add sysfs entries namely gc_long_idle and gc_short_idle to control the
gc policy. Where long idle corresponds to selecting a cost benefit approach,
while short idle corresponds to selecting a greedy approach to garbage
collection. The selection is mutually exclusive one approach will work at
any point.
