Actually, we only suffer dead loop from foreground GC path, right? I suspect the
bug was triggered in this path only.

It looks there are a lot of cases in where we repeat triggering read once
two mappings are mismatched, e.g.
- __get_meta_page
- __get_node_page
- f2fs_write_begin
- f2fs_quota_read

Thanks,
