Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] f2fs: let's keep writing IOs on SBI_NEED_FSCK

SBI_NEED_FSCK is an indicator that fsck.f2fs needs to be triggered, so it
is not fully critical to stop any IO writes. So, let's allow to write data
instead of reporting EIO forever given SBI_NEED_FSCK, but do keep OPU.

Fixes: 955772787667 ("f2fs: drop inplace IO if fs status is abnormal")

 v2 from v1:
  - use OPU in the NEED_FSCK case.
