UPSTREAM: f2fs: atomic: fix to avoid racing w/ GC



Case #1:
SQLite App		GC Thread		Kworker		Shrinker
- f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write

- f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write
 - f2fs_commit_atomic_write
  - filemap_write_and_wait_range
  : write atomic_file's data to cow_inode
								echo 3 > drop_caches
								to drop atomic_file's
								cache.
			- f2fs_gc
			 - gc_data_segment
			  - move_data_page
			   - set_page_dirty

						- writepages
						 - f2fs_do_write_data_page
						 : overwrite atomic_file's data
						   to cow_inode
  - f2fs_down_write(&fi->i_gc_rwsem[WRITE])
  - __f2fs_commit_atomic_write
  - f2fs_up_write(&fi->i_gc_rwsem[WRITE])

Case #2:
SQLite App		GC Thread		Kworker
- f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write

						- __writeback_single_inode
						 - do_writepages
						  - f2fs_write_cache_pages
						   - f2fs_write_single_data_page
						    - f2fs_do_write_data_page
						    : write atomic_file's data to cow_inode
			- f2fs_gc
			 - gc_data_segment
			  - move_data_page
			   - set_page_dirty

						- writepages
						 - f2fs_do_write_data_page
						 : overwrite atomic_file's data to cow_inode
- f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write

In above cases racing in between atomic_write and GC, previous
data in atomic_file may be overwrited to cow_file, result in
data corruption.

This patch introduces PAGE_PRIVATE_ATOMIC_WRITE bit flag in page.private,
and use it to indicate that there is last dirty data in atomic file,
and the data should be writebacked into cow_file, if the flag is not
tagged in page, we should never write data across files.
