IMO, it will be better to split this change into two, we can fix the
location of inc_page_count(, F2FS_RD_DATA) directly in your patch,
meanwhile we can add one more patch to fix the same issue in
f2fs_submit_page_bio(), in where the problem exists for long time, it needs
to send fixing patch to stable kernel mailing list.
