Subject: [PATCH V3] f2fs: fix some error handling case in gc

During GC, if segment type stored in SSA and SIT is inconsistent,
we set SBI_NEED_FSCK first and then stop checkpoint, this will
cause the following issues:
1. SBI_NEED_FSCK can not be set to flash truly because of checkpoint
has been stopped.
2. Will cause more EIO error if user use f2fs because of CP_ERROR_FLAG
has been set in f2fs_stop_checkpoint, this is not reasonable.

So we fix this error handling case by recording current victim segment
as invalid for gc and do not stop checkpoint.
1. SBI_NEED_FSCK will still be set but not do f2fs_stop_checkpoint for
f2fs.fsck to have opportunity to fix the inconsistent segment type
in SSA and SIT.
2. Let user can still use fs, avoid EIO error for some operations such
as read and write,etc.
3. If current segment has inconsistent segment type in SSA and SIT,
we add this segment segno in SIT_I(sbi)->invalid_segmap to skip this
segment to avoid deadloop in gc,similar as commit bbf9f7d90f21 ("f2fs:
Fix indefinite loop in f2fs_gc()")

changes of v3: keep "set SBI_NEED_FSCK and f2fs_err()" as before and
do not depend on CONFIG_F2FS_CHECK_FS as Chao's suggestion.
