f2fs: remove the own bi_private allocation

Browse source

Previously f2fs allocates its own bi_private data structure all the time even
though we don't use it. But, can we remove this bi_private allocation?

This patch removes such the additional bi_private allocation.

1. Retrieve f2fs_sb_info from its page->mapping->host->i_sb.
 - This removes the usecases of bi_private in end_io.

2. Use bi_private only when we really need it.
 - The bi_private is used only when the checkpoint procedure is conducted.
 - When conducting the checkpoint, f2fs submits a META_FLUSH bio to wait its bio
completion.
 - Since we have no dependancies to remove bi_private now, let's just use
 bi_private pointer as the completion pointer.
