This patch adds support for volatile writes which keep data pages in memory
until f2fs_evict_inode is called by iput.
For instance, we can use this feature for the sqlite database as follows.
While supporting atomic writes for main database file, we can keep its journal
data temporarily in the page cache by the following sequence.
1. open
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_VOLATILE_WRITE);
2. writes
: keep all the data in the page cache.
3. flush to the database file with atomic writes
a. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
b. writes
c. ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
4. close
-> drop the cached data

This patch introduces a very limited functionality for atomic write support.
In order to support atomic write, this patch adds two ioctls:
o F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE
o F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
The database engine should be aware of the following sequence.
1. open
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE);
2. writes
: all the written data will be treated as atomic pages.
3. commit
-> ioctl(F2FS_IOC_COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE);
: this flushes all the data blocks to the disk, which will be shown all or
nothing by f2fs recovery procedure.
4. repeat to #2.
The IO pattens should be:
,- START_ATOMIC_WRITE ,- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE
CP | D D D D D D | FSYNC | D D D D | FSYNC ...
`- COMMIT_ATOMIC_WRITE

Block size in f2fs is 4096 bytes, so theoretically, f2fs can support 4096 bytes
sector device at maximum. But now f2fs only support 512 bytes size sector, so
block device such as zRAM which uses page cache as its block storage space will
not be mounted successfully as mismatch between sector size of zRAM and sector
size of f2fs supported.
In this patch we support large sector size in f2fs, so block device with sector
size of 512/1024/2048/4096 bytes can be supported in f2fs.

The f2fs_direct_IO uses __allocate_data_block, but inside the allocation path,
we should update i_size at the changed time to update its inode page.

This patch revisited whole the recovery information during the f2fs_sync_file.
In this patch, there are three information to make a decision.
a) IS_CHECKPOINTED, /* is it checkpointed before? */
b) HAS_FSYNCED_INODE, /* is the inode fsynced before? */
c) HAS_LAST_FSYNC, /* has the latest node fsync mark? */
And, the scenarios for our rule are based on:
[Term] F: fsync_mark, D: dentry_mark
1. inode(x) | CP | inode(x) | dnode(F)
2. inode(x) | CP | inode(F) | dnode(F)
3. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(F)
4. inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(F)
5. CP | inode(x) | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
6. CP | inode(DF) | dnode(F)
7. CP | dnode(F) | inode(DF)
8. CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(DF)
For example, #3, the three conditions should be changed as follows.
inode(x) | CP | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(F)
a) x o o o o
b) x x x x o
c) x o o x o
If f2fs_sync_file stops ------^,
it should write inode(F) --------------^
So, the need_inode_block_update should return true, since
c) get_nat_flag(e, HAS_LAST_FSYNC), is false.
For example, #8,
CP | alloc | dnode(F) | inode(x) | inode(DF)
a) o x x x x
b) x x x o
c) o o x o
If f2fs_sync_file stops -------^,
it should write inode(DF) --------------^
Note that, the roll-forward policy should follow this rule, which means,
if there are any missing blocks, we doesn't need to recover that inode.

There are two rules when EIO is occurred.
1. don't write any checkpoint data to preserve the previous checkpoint
2. don't lose the cached dentry/node/meta pages
So, at first, this patch adds set_page_dirty in f2fs_write_end_io's failure.
Then, writing checkpoint/dentry/node blocks is not allowed.
Note that, for the data pages, we can't just throw away by redirtying them.
Otherwise, kworker can fall into infinite loop to flush them.
