Subject: [PATCH 4.4 017/143] f2fs: move dir data flush to write checkpoint process

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

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

[ Upstream commit b61ac5b720146c619c7cdf17eff2551b934399e5 ]

This patch move dir data flush to write checkpoint process, by
doing this, it may reduce some time for dir fsync.

pre:
	-f2fs_do_sync_file enter
		-file_write_and_wait_range  <- flush & wait
		-write_checkpoint
			-do_checkpoint	    <- wait all
	-f2fs_do_sync_file exit

now:
	-f2fs_do_sync_file enter
		-write_checkpoint
			-block_operations   <- flush dir & no wait
			-do_checkpoint	    <- wait all
	-f2fs_do_sync_file exit
