Subject: [PATCH 2/2] f2fs: fix null pointer dereference when issuing flush in ->fsync

We only allocate flush merge control structure sbi::sm_info::fcc_info when
flush_merge option is on, but in f2fs_issue_flush we still try to access
member of the control structure without that option, it incurs panic as
show below, fix it.
