Subject: [PATCH 1/2] f2fs: fix to avoid deadlock when merging inline data

When testing with fsstress, kworker and user threads were both blocked:

INFO: task kworker/u16:1:16580 blocked for more than 120 seconds.
"echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/hung_task_timeout_secs" disables this message.

The reason of this issue is:
CPU0:					CPU1:
 - f2fs_write_data_pages
					 - f2fs_sync_fs
					  - write_checkpoint
					   - block_operations
					    - f2fs_lock_all
					     - down_write(sbi->cp_rwsem)
  - lock_page(page)
  - f2fs_write_data_page
					    - sync_node_pages
					     - flush_inline_data
					      - pagecache_get_page(page, GFP_LOCK)
   - f2fs_lock_op
    - down_read(sbi->cp_rwsem)

This patch alters to use trylock_page in flush_inline_data to fix this ABBA
deadlock issue.
