Subject: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: keep scanning until enough free nids are
 acquired

In current version, after scan_free_nid_bits, the scan is over if nid_cnt[FREE_NID] != 0.
In most cases, there are still free nids in the free list during the scan, and scan_free_nid_bits
usually can't increase nid_cnt[FREE_NID].
It causes that __build_free_nids is called many times without solving the shortage
of the free nids. This patch fixes that.
