This set implements passing down write hints to block layer with the
following mapping. This mapping equals the conclusion from discussion in
the link, https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-f2fs/mailman/message/36170969/

But there are two exceptions. (1) the 'iohint_mode' mount option is changed
to 'whint_mode'. (2) in "user-based" mode, WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME is passed
down instead of WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET for files flagged with ioctl(COLD) and 
extension list.

Sorry for late patch.

1) whint_mode=off. F2FS only passes down WRITE_LIFE_NOT_SET.

2) whint_mode=user-based. F2FS tries to pass down hints given by
users.

                      HOT_NODE                 "
                      WARM_NODE                "
                      COLD_NODE                "
*ioctl(COLD)           COLD_DATA                WRITE_LIFE_EXTREME
*extension list        "                        "

3) whint_mode=fs-based. F2FS passes down hints with its policy.
