F2FS currently describes several on-disk metadata layouts and filesystem
geometry values with constants derived from PAGE_SIZE or a fixed 4KB block
size. This series derives those values from the mounted filesystem's block
size instead, as preparation for supporting filesystem blocks smaller than
PAGE_SIZE.

The patches initialize sb_info early, describe the SIT, NAT, orphan, dentry,
node, and xattr layouts dynamically, parameterize sector/byte/block
conversion helpers, and derive node-tree geometry at runtime.

This series does not relax the block-size mount check or enable subpage I/O.
It is intended to be a behavior-preserving refactoring for currently
supported 4KB-block filesystems.

Changes since v7:
- address all review comments from Chao Yu and Daeho Jeong
- mark the sb_set_blocksize() failure as unlikely and remove unused helpers
- retain struct f2fs_orphan_block as a flexible-array wrapper
- separate the shared-header block-size geometry helper from the cached
  kernel-side inode geometry helper
- consolidate the inline-xattr size helpers and move F2FS_MAX_BLKSIZE to its
  first use
- retain the node-ID layout description without nesting comments
- restore shift-based block alignment instead of using 64-bit division
- move node-tree geometry before block-size macro parameterization so each
  intermediate patch builds without temporary PAGE_SIZE churn
- use a size_t format for the maximum inline-xattr size on 32-bit builds
- remove unrelated whitespace and other incidental changes

v7:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/cover.1788213716.git.zhangxp1998@gmail.com/

Changes since v3:
- no code changes in v4 through v7; those versions addressed mail transport
  corruption before v7 was delivered intact through direct SMTP

v3:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/CAH=xXfEFL7w7nsU3xjNubKJ1soYMqT-DbJBuyzfEX4Rv3rdFEA@mail.gmail.com/

Changes since v2:
- use DECLARE_FLEX_ARRAY() for flexible arrays that are alone in a struct or
  used in a union, fixing the reported m68k GCC build failures
- use F2FS_BLK_ALIGN() in f2fs_sec_trim_file() to avoid a runtime 64-bit
  division and an unresolved __divdi3 reference on 32-bit SH
- no other code changes

Changes since v1:
- rebase onto f2fs/dev at c966d29e01bb
- drop the unrelated free-NID underflow fix from this series
- split the preparatory changes into 11 focused patches
- initialize sb_info earlier and describe the xattr layout explicitly
- separate sector, byte/block, and block-size macro parameterization
- update commit messages and address checkpatch warnings

v2:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/CAH=xXfHWW_J92z3YgvoLSx8+z6rekq=p2kiP15KE9=2+Ju2RjQ@mail.gmail.com/
v1:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-f2fs-devel/CAH=xXfFVAwQ3r_NdUDtmXhtg6Lw8kDWoNTzGL5oy4mwHMsJLJw@mail.gmail.com/

Tested with:
- x86_64 W=1 F2FS build at every patch
- i386 allmodconfig W=1 F2FS builds at patch 07/11 and the series tip
  (no new warnings)
- arm64 16KB-page W=1 F2FS build at the series tip
- builds of all five F2FS subpage selftest binaries on the complete branch
- scripts/checkpatch.pl --strict (no errors or warnings)
