Subject: [PATCH 5/7] f2fs: exclude free nids building and allocation

From: Chao Yu <yuchao0@...wei.com>

During nid allocation, it needs to exclude building and allocating flow
of free nids, this is because while building free nid cache, there are two
steps: a) load free nids from unused nat entries in NAT pages, b) update
free nid cache by checking nat journal. The two steps should be atomical,
otherwise an used nid can be allocated as free one after a) and before b).

This patch adds missing lock which covers build_free_nids in
unlock_operation and f2fs_balance_fs_bg to avoid that.
