Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: guarantee to write dirty data when enabling checkpoint
 back

We must flush all the dirty data when enabling checkpoint back. Let's guarantee
that first by adding a retry logic on sync_inodes_sb(). In addition to that,
this patch adds to flush data in fsync when checkpoint is disabled, which can
mitigate the sync_inodes_sb() failures in advance.

 Change log from v2:
- repharse the patch description a bit
- fix retry condition check
