Hi,

This is a candidate patch to improve write performance.

When GC is runnning, GC moves live block to difference segments.
Moving live blocks to different segment is done in a transaction,
but it is not necessarily to be in the transaction.
This patch will get the nilfs_ioctl_move_blocks() out from
transaction lock and put it before the transaction.

Here are the bonnie++ bench mark results against rc5.
I used sata disk so performace difference is not big.
So I modified nilfs_cleanerd.conf to ensure lock will be long enough.

I ran "bonnie++ -b" three times in each environment.
Create clean nilfs2 partition each time before test run.

Results
- write performance of rc5
 * Char|17472.333 K/sec
 * Block|30748.000 K/sec
 * Rewrite|18506.000 K/sec

- write performance of the patched rc5
 * Char|17961.000 K/sec -> 102.700%
 * Block|30987.666 K/sec -> 100.700%
 * Rewrite|18775.666 K/sec -> 101.400%

Here are the nilfs_cleanerd.conf and raw data.
