From: Daeho Jeong <daehojeong@google.com>

When find_next_free_block() fails to allocate a free block, callers like
move_one_curseg_info(), reserve_new_block(), and update_block() previously
crashed via ASSERT().

Replace these ASSERT() calls with proper error propagation to gracefully
abort FSCK execution instead of crashing.

Seems there are a lot of ASSERT() in path of above functions? e.g.

f2fs_create

	/* write child */
	set_summary(&sum, de->ino, 0, ni.version);
	ret = reserve_new_block(sbi, &blkaddr, &sum, CURSEG_HOT_NODE, 1);
	nodeblk_alloced = true;
	ASSERT(!ret);

convert_inline_dentry

	ret = update_block(sbi, node, p_blkaddr, NULL);
	ASSERT(ret >= 0);

Can you please take a look?

Another caller of fix_curseg_info(), fsck_verify() will accept the failure silently,
I think it needs to propagate the error to do_fsck().
