Xiang, sorry for late reply.

Now, f2fs triggers compression only if one cluster is fully written,
e.g. cluster size is 16kb, isize is 8kb, then the first cluster is
non-compressed one, so we don't need to prepare for compressed
cluster overwrite during write_begin(). Also, blocks fallocated
beyond isize should never be compressed, so we don't need to worry
about that.

Thanks,
