Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to check continuousness in f2fs_sync_meta_pages()
 correctly

In f2fs_sync_meta_pages(), whenever i becomes zero inside while loop,
below check may be skipped, it failed to check the continuousness:

	if (nr_to_write != LONG_MAX && i != 0 &&
		folio->index != prev +
		folio_nr_pages(fbatch.folios[i-1])) {
