Subject: [PATCH 1/4] f2fs: fix to cover sentry_lock for block allocation

In the following call stack, f2fs changes the bitmap for dirty segments and # of
dirty sentries without grabbing sit_i->sentry_lock.
This can result in mismatch on bitmap and # of dirty sentries, since if there
are some direct_io operations.

In allocate_data_block,
 - __allocate_new_segments
  - mutex_lock(&curseg->curseg_mutex);
  - s_ops->allocate_segment
   - new_curseg/change_curseg
    - reset_curseg
     - __set_sit_entry_type
      - __mark_sit_entry_dirty
       - set_bit(dirty_sentries_bitmap)
       - dirty_sentries++;
