Re: [PATCH] f2fs: add fi->commit_lock to protect commit GCed pages

[Yunlong Song <yunlong.song@huawei.com>]

As what I point in last mail, if the atomic file is not committed
yet, gc_data_segment will register_inmem_page the GCed data pages.
This will cause these data pages written twice, the first write
happens in move_data_page->do_write_data_page, and the second
write happens in later __commit_inmem_pages->do_write_data_page.
