Subject: Re: [PATCH] f2fs: don't set FI_COMPRESS_RELEASED if file is not compressed

On Android S, after the app is installed, it will judge whether the file
is allowed to be compressed and release it. In the case of compress_mode=user,
the file is not compressed at this point, causing EVNAL to be returned on
subsequent executions to release.
In the method 'isCompressionAllowed', there is also such a notice:"NOTE:
The return value does not mean if the given file, or any other file on
the same file system, is actually compressed. It merely determines whether
not files <em>may</em> be compressed."
