f2fs: fix deadlock during inline_data conversion

Browse source

A deadlock can be occurred:
Thread 1]                             Thread 2]
 - f2fs_write_data_pages              - f2fs_write_begin
   - lock_page(page #0)
                                        - grab_cache_page(page #X)
                                        - get_node_page(inode_page)
                                        - grab_cache_page(page #0)
                                          : to convert inline_data
   - f2fs_write_data_page
     - f2fs_write_inline_data
       - get_node_page(inode_page)

In this case, trying to lock inode_page and page #0 causes deadlock.
In order to avoid this, this patch adds a rule for this locking policy,
which is that page #0 should be locked followed by inode_page lock.
