f2fs updates for v3.14

This patch-set includes the following major enhancement patches.
 o support inline_data
 o refactor bio operations such as merge operations and rw type assignment
 o enhance the direct IO path
 o enhance bio operations
 o truncate a node page when it becomes obsolete
 o add sysfs entries: small_discards, max_victim_search, and in-place-update
 o add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search
 
 The other bug fixes are as follows.
 o fix a bug in truncate_partial_nodes
 o avoid warnings during sparse and build process
 o fix error handling flows
 o fix potential bit overflows
 
 And, there are a bunch of cleanups.

Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, a couple of sysfs entries were introduced to tune the
  f2fs at runtime.

  In addition, f2fs starts to support inline_data and improves the
  read/write performance in some workloads by refactoring bio-related
  flows.

  This patch-set includes the following major enhancement patches.
   - support inline_data
   - refactor bio operations such as merge operations and rw type
     assignment
   - enhance the direct IO path
   - enhance bio operations
   - truncate a node page when it becomes obsolete
   - add sysfs entries: small_discards, max_victim_search, and
     in-place-update
   - add a sysfs entry to control max_victim_search

  The other bug fixes are as follows.
   - fix a bug in truncate_partial_nodes
   - avoid warnings during sparse and build process
   - fix error handling flows
   - fix potential bit overflows

  And, there are a bunch of cleanups"

The candidates to be discarded are cached until
checkpoint is triggered, and issued during the
checkpoint. By default, it is disabled with 0.
ipu_policy This parameter controls the policy of in-place

0: F2FS_IPU_FORCE, 1: F2FS_IPU_SSR,
2: F2FS_IPU_UTIL, 3: F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL,
4: F2FS_IPU_DISABLE.
min_ipu_util This parameter controls the threshold to trigger
in-place-updates. The number indicates percentage
of the filesystem utilization, and used by
F2FS_IPU_UTIL and F2FS_IPU_SSR_UTIL policies.
max_victim_search This parameter controls the number of trials to
find a victim segment when conducting SSR and
cleaning operations. The default value is 4096
which covers 8GB block address range.
