[PATCH] f2fs: freeze filesystem when fail to update meta page due to IO error

[Chao Yu]

In get_meta_page, we guarantee no failure for the returned page,
but sometimes, IO error from device will incur returning an
non-updated page.

Then, we still use this page as updated one, exception could happen
when using this kind of page.

So in this condition, we'd better freeze fs by making fs readonly and
and stop doing checkpoint.
