Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] f2fs: add sysfs entry for effective lookup mode

This commit introduces a new read-only sysfs entry at
/sys/fs/f2fs/<device>/effective_lookup_mode.

This entry displays the actual directory lookup mode F2FS is
currently using. This is needed for debugging and verification,
as the behavior is determined by both on-disk flags and mount
options.

Signed-off-by: Daniel Lee <chullee@...gle.com>

v2:
- show "auto:perf" or "auto:compat" when lookup_mode is 'auto'.

+Description:
+		This is a read-only entry to show the effective directory lookup mode
+		F2FS is currently using for casefolded directories.
+		This considers both the "lookup_mode" mount option and the on-disk
+		encoding flag, SB_ENC_NO_COMPAT_FALLBACK_FL.
+
+		Possible values are:
+		- "perf": Hash-only lookup.
+		- "compat": Hash-based lookup with a linear search fallback enabled
+		- "auto:perf": lookup_mode is auto and fallback is disabled on-disk
+		- "auto:compat": lookup_mode is auto and fallback is enabled on-disk
