Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to set/clear I_LINKABLE under i_lock

fsstress + fault injection test case reports a warning message as
below:

WARNING: CPU: 13 PID: 6226 at fs/inode.c:361 inc_nlink+0x32/0x40
Call Trace:
 f2fs_init_inode_metadata+0x25c/0x4a0 [f2fs]

 entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xa9

Following race case can cause this:
Thread A				Kworker
- f2fs_rename
 - f2fs_create_whiteout
  - __f2fs_tmpfile
   - f2fs_i_links_write
    - f2fs_mark_inode_dirty_sync
     - mark_inode_dirty_sync
					- writeback_single_inode
					 - __writeback_single_inode
					  - spin_lock(&inode->i_lock)
   - inode->i_state |= I_LINKABLE
					  - inode->i_state &= ~dirty
					  - spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock)
 - f2fs_add_link
  - f2fs_do_add_link
   - f2fs_add_dentry
    - f2fs_add_inline_entry
     - f2fs_init_inode_metadata
      - f2fs_i_links_write
       - inc_nlink
        - WARN_ON(!(inode->i_state & I_LINKABLE))

Fix to add i_lock to avoid i_state update race condition.
