Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to avoid race in between atomic write and background GC

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

Sqlite user			Background GC
				- move_data_block
				  : move page #1
				 - f2fs_is_atomic_file
- f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write
- f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write
 - commit_inmem_pages
   : commit page #1 & set node #2 dirty
				 - f2fs_submit_page_write
				  - f2fs_update_data_blkaddr
				   - set_page_dirty
				     : set node #2 dirty
 - f2fs_do_sync_file
  - fsync_node_pages
   : commit node #1 & node #2, then sudden power-cut

In a race case, we may check FI_ATOMIC_FILE flag before starting atomic
write flow, then we will commit meta data before data with reversed
order, after a sudden pow-cut, database transaction will be inconsistent.

So we'd better to exclude gc/atomic_write to each other by using lock
instead of flag checking.
