f2fs_allocate_new_section() will allocate new section only when current
section has been initialized and has valid block/ckpt_block.

It looks fix_curseg_write_pointer() wants to force migrating current segment
to new section whenever write pointer and curseg->next_blkoff is inconsistent.

So how about adding a parameter to force f2fs_allocate_new_section() to
allocate new section?

Thanks,
