[PATCH v2] f2fs: compress: fix to handle race between truncate and writeback

From: Chao Yu <chao@kernel.org>

fsstress reports a kernel BUG in f2fs_truncate_partial_cluster():

kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/compress.c:1238!
RIP: 0010:f2fs_truncate_partial_cluster+0x292/0x2a0
Call Trace:
 <TASK>
 f2fs_truncate+0xf6/0x210

The root cause is that Thread A (truncate) and Thread B (background
writeback or fsync) can race as follows:

Thread A                             Thread B
- f2fs_setattr
 - f2fs_truncate
  - f2fs_truncate_blocks
   - f2fs_truncate_partial_cluster
    - f2fs_is_compressed_cluster
      return 1
                                     - f2fs_write_cache_pages
                                      - f2fs_write_multi_pages
                                       - f2fs_write_raw_pages
                                        - f2fs_write_single_data_page
                                          dn.data_blkaddr != COMPRESS_ADDR
                                          (cluster converted to normal)
    - f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite
     - f2fs_is_compressed_cluster
       return 0
     - return 0
    - f2fs_bug_on(sbi, err == 0): BUG!

Writeback path does not acquire i_gc_rwsem or filemap_invalidate_lock.
When a compressed cluster fails compression during writeback, it is
overwritten with raw data blocks. If Thread A checked
f2fs_is_compressed_cluster() before the conversion, but calls
f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite() after the conversion,
f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite() returns 0 because the cluster is no
longer a compressed cluster.

To fix this, remove the f2fs_bug_on() and retry checking the cluster status
when f2fs_prepare_compress_overwrite() returns 0, so that it can fall back
to f2fs_do_truncate_blocks() to handle it as a normal cluster.
