Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: fix to use bio_in_atomic() in f2fs_read_end_io()

f2fs_read_end_io() uses "in_task() && !irqs_disabled()" to decide
whether it is safe to sleep, the result is passed down as @in_task to:
- f2fs_put_dic() -> f2fs_free_dic() -> f2fs_release_decomp_mem()
  -> vm_unmap_ram(), which may sleep.
- f2fs_end_read_compressed_page() -> f2fs_cache_compressed_page()
  -> f2fs_grab_cache() -> f2fs_lock_cache(), which may sleep in
  wait_on_bit_lock().

However, the check still treats below task contexts as sleepable:
- with spinlock held via spin_lock(), i.e. preempt count != 0 while
  irqs are enabled.
- with BH disabled via local_bh_disable().
- inside an RCU read lock on kernels with CONFIG_PREEMPTION.
- with any spinlock held on kernels without CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT.

So the "sleeping function called from invalid context" issue fixed by
commit 08a7efc5b02a ("f2fs: vm_unmap_ram() may be called from an
invalid context") can still be triggered.

The block layer provides bio_in_atomic() for exactly this purpose, it
checks rcu_preempt_depth() and preemptible(), and conservatively returns
true if CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT is disabled, let's use it instead. The
difference is as below:

 old: intask = in_task() && !irqs_disabled()
 new: intask = !bio_in_atomic()

 Context                              | old intask     | new intask
 -------------------------------------+----------------+----------------
 Hard IRQ / softirq                   | false          | false
 IRQs disabled                        | false          | false
 spin_lock() held, IRQs enabled       | true (wrong)   | false
 BH disabled by local_bh_disable()    | true (wrong)   | false
 RCU read lock (CONFIG_PREEMPTION)    | true (wrong)   | false
 Spinlock held, w/o PREEMPT_COUNT     | true (wrong)   | false

Note that on kernels without CONFIG_PREEMPT_COUNT, bio_in_atomic()
always returns true, so dic freeing will always be offloaded to sbi->wq,
and compressed pages will not be cached in f2fs_read_end_io(); this is
the price of correctness, since there is no way to tell whether the
current context can sleep.
