As Dinosaur Huang reported, there is a potential deadlock in between
GC and mkwrite():

Thread A			Thread B
- do_page_mkwrite
 - f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite
  - lock_page
				- f2fs_balance_fs
                                 - mutex_lock(gc_mutex)
				 - f2fs_gc
				  - do_garbage_collect
				   - ra_data_block
				    - grab_cache_page
  - f2fs_balance_fs
   - mutex_lock(gc_mutex)

In order to fix this, we just move f2fs_balance_fs() out of page lock's
coverage in f2fs_vm_page_mkwrite().
