[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: fix to avoid data update racing between GC and DIO

Datas in file can be operated by GC and DIO simultaneously, so we will
face race case as below:

For write case:
Thread A Thread B
- generic_file_direct_write
- invalidate_inode_pages2_range
- f2fs_direct_IO
- do_blockdev_direct_IO
- do_direct_IO
- get_more_blocks
- f2fs_gc
- do_garbage_collect
- gc_data_segment
- move_data_page
- do_write_data_page
migrate data block to new block address
- dio_bio_submit
update user data to old block address

For read case:
Thread A Thread B
- generic_file_direct_write
- invalidate_inode_pages2_range
- f2fs_direct_IO
- do_blockdev_direct_IO
- do_direct_IO
- get_more_blocks
- f2fs_balance_fs
- f2fs_gc
- do_garbage_collect
- gc_data_segment
- move_data_page
- do_write_data_page
migrate data block to new block address
- write_checkpoint
- do_checkpoint
- clear_prefree_segments
- f2fs_issue_discard
discard old block adress
- dio_bio_submit
update user buffer from obsolete block address

In order to fix this, for one file, we should let DIO and GC getting exclusion
against with each other.
