f2fs: fix concurrent problem for updating free bitmap
alloc_nid_failed and scan_nat_page can be called at the same time, and we haven't protected add_free_nid and update_free_nid_bitmap with the same nid_list_lock. That could lead to Thread A Thread B - __build_free_nids - scan_nat_page - add_free_nid - alloc_nid_failed - update_free_nid_bitmap - update_free_nid_bitmap scan_nat_page will clear the free bitmap since the nid is PREALLOC_NID, but alloc_nid_failed needs to set the free bitmap. This results in free nid with free bitmap cleared. This patch update the bitmap under the same nid_list_lock in add_free_nid. And use __GFP_NOFAIL to make sure to update status of free nid correctly.
