Subject: [PATCH 3.16 161/212] f2fs: add ovp valid_blocks check for bg gc
 victim to fg_gc

3.16.44-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Hou Pengyang <houpengyang@...wei.com>

commit e93b9865251a0503d83fd570e7d5a7c8bc351715 upstream.

For foreground gc, greedy algorithm should be adapted, which makes
this formula work well:

	(2 * (100 / config.overprovision + 1) + 6)

But currently, we fg_gc have a prior to select bg_gc victim segments to gc
first, these victims are selected by cost-benefit algorithm, we can't guarantee
such segments have the small valid blocks, which may destroy the f2fs rule, on
the worstest case, would consume all the free segments.

This patch fix this by add a filter in check_bg_victims, if segment's has # of
valid blocks over overprovision ratio, skip such segments.

 - In get_victim_by_default(), use continue rather than goto
 - Adjust context]
