Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to avoid updating compression context during
 writeback

Bai, Shuangpeng <sjb7183@psu.edu> reported a bug as below:

The bug was triggered w/ below race condition:

fsync				setattr			ioctl
- f2fs_do_sync_file
 - file_write_and_wait_range
  - f2fs_write_cache_pages
  : inode is non-compressed
  : cc.cluster_size =
    F2FS_I(inode)->i_cluster_size = 0
   - tag_pages_for_writeback
				- f2fs_setattr
				 - truncate_setsize
				 - f2fs_truncate
							- f2fs_fileattr_set
							 - f2fs_setflags_common
							  - set_compress_context
							  : F2FS_I(inode)->i_cluster_size = 4
							  : set_inode_flag(inode, FI_COMPRESSED_FILE)
   - f2fs_compressed_file
   : return true
   - f2fs_all_cluster_page_ready
   : "pgidx % cc->cluster_size" trigger dividing 0 issue

Let's change as below to fix this issue:
- introduce a new atomic type variable .writeback in structure f2fs_inode_info
to track the number of threads which calling f2fs_write_cache_pages().
- use .i_sem lock to protect .writeback update.
- check .writeback before update compression context in f2fs_setflags_common()
to avoid race w/ ->writepages.
