Subject: Re: [f2fs-dev] [PATCH v3] f2fs: retry to update the inode page given
 EIO

If the storage gives a corrupted node block due to short power failure and
reset, f2fs stops the entire operations by setting the checkpoint failure flag.

Let's give more chances to live by re-issuing IOs for a while in such critical
path.
