Since in batched operation is only used in truncation path, I only stat data
in that path. And I add below function to test for stating time count.

uint64_t rdtsc(void)
{
	uint32_t lo, hi;
	__asm__ __volatile__ ("rdtsc" : "=a" (lo), "=d" (hi));
	return (uint64_t)hi << 32 | lo;
}

My test environment is: ubuntu, intel i7-3770, 16G memory, 256g micron ssd.

a) Removing 128MB file which has one extent node mapping whole range of file:
1. dd if=/dev/zero  of=/mnt/f2fs/128M bs=1M count=128
2. sync
3. rm /mnt/f2fs/128M
											count			total
average
f2fs_update_extent_tree_range		33				3321			100.63
f2fs_update_extent_cache				32768			7651022		233.49

b) fsstress:
fsstress -d /mnt/f2fs -l 5 -n 100 -p 20
											count			total
average
f2fs_update_extent_tree_range		1868			1073762		574.82
f2fs_update_extent_cache				31518			11495827		364.74
