Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: don't bother wait_ms by foreground gc

f2fs_gc returns -EINVAL via f2fs_balance_fs when there is enough free
secs after write checkpoint, but with gc_merge enabled, it will cause
the sleep time of gc thread to be set to no_gc_sleep_time even if there
are many dirty segments can be selected.
