It can simply reproduced with scripts:

1. mkfs.f2fs /dev/zram0
2. mount -t f2fs /dev/zram0 /mnt/f2fs
3. xfs_io -f /mnt/f2fs/file -c "pwrite 0 4k" -c "fsync"
4. godown /mnt/f2fs
5. umount /mnt/f2fs
6. mount -t f2fs -o ro /dev/zram0 /mnt/f2fs
7. umount /mnt/f2fs

The reason is: during recovery, i_{c,m}time of inode will be updated, then
the inode can be set dirty w/o being tracked in sbi->inode_list[DIRTY_META]
global list, so later write_checkpoint will not flush such dirty inode into
node page.

Once umount is called, sync_filesystem() in generic_shutdown_super() will
skip sync dirty inodes due to sb_rdonly check, leaving dirty inodes there.

To solve this issue, add sync_inodes_sb() in recovery to make sure all
dirty inodes will be flushed before write_checkpoint().
