[PATCH 1/2] f2fs: refactor f2fs_evict_inode having three major parts

[PATCH 1/2] f2fs: refactor f2fs_evict_inode having three major parts

[Jaegeuk Kim]

1. f2fs_pre_evict_inode()
 : drop all in-memory structures

2. f2fs_delete_inode()
 : truncate inode blocks, if it was unlinked.

3. f2fs_post_evict_inode()
 : update inode records for future access

[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: call __add_ino_entry out of the eviction path

[Jaegeuk Kim]

The f2fs_evict_inode() can be called during the direct reclaim path, but
__add_ino_entry requires allocating some memory. Since we don't need to
do that in that context, let's migrate it in other workqueue context.
