Subject: [PATCH 4.19 192/361] Revert "f2fs: fix to clear PG_checked flag in set_page_dirty()"

4.19-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@...nel.org>

commit 164a63fa6b384e30ceb96ed80bc7dc3379bc0960 upstream.

This reverts commit 66110abc4c931f879d70e83e1281f891699364bf.

If we clear the cold data flag out of the writeback flow, we can miscount
-1 by end_io, which incurs a deadlock caused by all I/Os being blocked during
heavy GC.

Balancing F2FS Async:
 - IO (CP:    1, Data:   -1, Flush: (   0    0    1), Discard: (   ...

GC thread:                              IRQ
- move_data_page()
 - set_page_dirty()
  - clear_cold_data()
                                        - f2fs_write_end_io()
                                         - type = WB_DATA_TYPE(page);
                                           here, we get wrong type
                                         - dec_page_count(sbi, type);
 - f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback()
