Subject: [PATCH 3/4] f2fs: fix race between online resize path and allocate new data block path

There can be a potential race between allocate_segment_for_resize() and
allocate_data_block(), resulting into two issues -

1. The allocate_data_block() can get a data block from a segment which
is currently being resized. This results in data being updated in an
outdated or already resized segment.

2. It also results into these warnings from get_new_segment():
f2fs_bug_on(sbi, secno >= NEW_MAIN_SECS(sbi));

Fix these by using curseg_mutex lock in the resize context to prevent
race with allocate_data_block() path.
