Subject: [PATCH 4.4 016/104] f2fs: put directory inodes before checkpoint in roll-forward recovery

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

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

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

commit 9e1e6df412a28cdbbd2909de5c6189eda4a3383d upstream.

Before checkpoint, we'd be better drop any inodes.
