[PATCH -mm 1/2] nilfs2: prepare backing device folios for writing after adding checksums

[Ryusuke Konishi <konishi.ryusuke@gmail.com>]

In preparation for inode_attach_wb(), which is currently called when
attaching the log writer, to be done via mark_buffer_dirty(), change
the order of preparation for log writing.

Specifically, the function call that adds checksums to segment summary
and super root blocks, which correspond to the log header and trailer,
is made before starting writeback of folios containing those blocks.

The current steps are as follows:

1. Put the folios of segment summary blocks in writeback state.
2. Put the folios of data blocks, metadata file blocks, and btree node
   blocks (collectively called payload blocks) into writeback state.
3. Put the super root block folio in writeback state.
4. Add checksums.

Change these as follows:

1. Put the folios of payload blocks in writeback state.
2. Add checksums.
3. Put the folios of segment summary blocks in writeback state.
4. Put the super root block folio in writeback state.

In this order, the contents of segment summaries and super root block
that directly use buffer/folio of the backing device can be determined
including the addition of checksums, before preparing to write.

Step (1), which puts the payload block folios in writeback state, is
performed first because if there are memory-mapped data blocks, a valid
checksum can only be calculated after step (1).
