f2fs_io write ... atomic_commit ... 5000 runs in the background and has
an initial delay before invoking F2FS_IOC_START_ATOMIC_WRITE. Without a
sleep in the test script, rm and _scratch_shutdown -f run immediately
before f2fs_io enters atomic mode, causing f2fs_io to fail and
preventing the orphan inode from being committed to the on-disk
checkpoint.

Add a 2-second sleep to let f2fs_io enter atomic mode, record its PID,
then shutdown -f to ensure the orphan inode is written to the checkpoint,
and clean up the background process properly.
