Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix writing incorrect orphan blocks

Previously, there was a erroneous scenario like below.
thread 1:                       thread 2:
 f2fs_unlink
  - acquire_orphan_inode
    : sbi->n_orphans++           write_checkpoint
                                 - block_operations
                                  : f2fs_lock_all
                                 - do_checkpoint
                                  : write orphan blocks with sbi->n_orphans
                                 - unblock_operations
  - f2fs_lock_op
  - release_orphan_inode
  - f2fs_unlock_op

During the checkpoint by thread 2, f2fs stores a wrong orphan block according
to the wrong sbi->n_orphans.
To avoid this, simply we should make cover acquire_orphan_inode too with
f2fs_lock_op.
