[PATCH] f2fs: Avoid node page to be written twice in gc_node_segment

[Huang Ying]

In gc_node_segment, if node page gc is run concurrently with node page
writeback, and check_valid_map and get_node_page run after page locked
and before cur_valid_map is updated as below, it is possible for the
page to be written twice unnecessarily.

			sync_node_pages
			  try_lock_page
			  ...
check_valid_map		  f2fs_write_node_page
			    ...
			    write_node_page
			      do_write_page
			        allocate_data_block
				  ...
				  refresh_sit_entry /* update cur_valid_map */
				  ...
			    ...
			    unlock_page
get_node_page
...
set_page_dirty
...
f2fs_put_page
  unlock_page

This can be solved via calling check_valid_map after get_node_page again.
