We can keep the bit set in victim_secmap for FG_GC use next time as 
before, the diffierent
is that this patch will make BG_GC ignore the bit set in victim_secmap, 
so BG_GC can still
get the the section (which is in set) as victim and do GC jobs.

Yes, this is exactly the value of victim_secmap, it helps FG_GC reduce 
time in selecting victims
and continue the job which BG_GC has not finished.
