It looks cold data's allocation direction is right as well, I missed
to notice that previously due to I tested in small-sized image, and
f2fs_tuning_parameters() enables ALLOC_MODE_REUSE, then cold data
allocation always searchs free segment from segno #0, it breaks
continuity of physical blocks.

Please ignore this patch. :P
