Subject: [PATCH 1/6] f2fs: call f2fs_balance_fs outside of locked page

Otherwise, we can hit deadlock by waiting for the locked page in
move_data_block in GC.

 Thread A                     Thread B
 - do_page_mkwrite
  - f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite
   - lock_page
                              - f2fs_balance_fs
                                  - mutex_lock(gc_mutex)
                               - f2fs_gc
                                - do_garbage_collect
                                 - ra_data_block
                                  - grab_cache_page
   - f2fs_balance_fs
    - mutex_lock(gc_mutex)

Fixes: 39a8695824510 ("f2fs: refactor ->page_mkwrite() flow")
