Subject: [f2fs-dev][PATCH 3/3] f2fs: avoid to truncate non-updated page
 partially

After we call find_data_page in truncate_partial_data_page, we could not
guarantee this page is updated or not as error may occurred in lower layer.

We'd better check status of the page to avoid this no updated page be
writebacked to device.
