Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix long latency due to discard during umount

F2FS already has a default timeout of 5 secs for discards that
can be issued during umount, but it can take more than the 5 sec
timeout if the underlying UFS device queue is already full and there
are no more available free tags to be used. In that case, submit_bio()
will wait for the already queued discard requests to complete to get
a free tag, which can potentially take way more than 5 sec.

Fix this by submitting the discard requests with REQ_NOWAIT
flags during umount. This will return -EAGAIN for UFS queue/tag full
scenario without waiting in the context of submit_bio(). The FS can
then handle these requests by retrying again within the stipulated
discard timeout period to avoid long latencies.
