f2fs: fix to clear FI_VOLATILE_FILE correctly
Thread A Thread B - f2fs_release_file - clear_inode_flag(FI_VOLATILE_FILE) - wb_writeback - writeback_sb_inodes - __writeback_single_inode - do_writepages - f2fs_write_data_pages - __write_data_page all volatile file's pages are writebacked to storage - set_inode_flag(FI_DROP_CACHE) - filemap_fdatawrite There is a hole that mm can flush all dirty pages of volatile file as inode is not tagged with both FI_VOLATILE_FILE and FI_DROP_CACHE flags, we should never writeback the page #0 and also it's unneeded to writeback other pages. This patch adjusts to relocate clear_inode_flag(FI_VOLATILE_FILE), so that FI_VOLATILE_FILE flag can be remained before all dirty pages were dropped to avoid issue.
