It turned out that inline bit is somehow set, guessing the bit was not cleared
when the first dirty page was truncated or somewhere else.

Anyway, tooking a look at the usecase of flushing inline_data to inode page
aggressively, I feel it's kinda hack and may increase the checkpoint latency.
Hence, I'd like to remove it simply.
