Subject: [PATCH 5/8] f2fs: support data flush in checkpoint

Previously, when finishing a checkpoint, we only keep consistency of all fs
meta info including meta inode, node inode, dentry page of directory inode,
so, after a sudden power cut, f2fs can recover from last checkpoint with
full directory structure.

But during checkpoint, we didn't flush dirty pages of regular and symlink
inode, so such dirty datas still in memory will be lost in that moment of
power off.

In order to reduce the chance of lost data, this patch tries to flush user
data before starting a checkpoint. So user's data written between two
checkpoint which may not be fsynced could be saved.
