f2fs: compress: fix potential deadlock
generic/269 reports a hangtask issue, the root cause is ABBA deadlock
described as below:
Thread A Thread B
- down_write(&sbi->gc_lock) -- A
- f2fs_write_data_pages
- lock all pages in cluster -- B
- f2fs_write_multi_pages
- f2fs_write_raw_pages
- f2fs_write_single_data_page
- f2fs_balance_fs
- down_write(&sbi->gc_lock) -- A
- f2fs_gc
- do_garbage_collect
- ra_data_block
- pagecache_get_page -- B
To fix this, it needs to avoid calling f2fs_balance_fs() if there is
still cluster pages been locked in context of cluster writeback, so
instead, let's call f2fs_balance_fs() in the end of
f2fs_write_raw_pages() when all cluster pages were unlocked.
