Subject: [f2fs-dev][PATCH 5/5] f2fs: fix to search whole dirty segmap when
 get_victim

In ->get_victim we get max_search value from dirty_i->nr_dirty without
protection of seglist_lock, after that, nr_dirty can be increased/decreased
before we hold seglist_lock lock.
Then in main loop we attempt to traverse all dirty section one time to find
victim section, but it's not accurate to use max_search as the total loop count,
because we might lose checking several sections or check sections redundantly
for the case of nr_dirty are increased or decreased previously.
