Chao Yu 3ef3bc75cd f2fs: fix to avoid potential deadlock 
[ Upstream commit 344150999b ]

Quoted from Jing Xia's report, there is a potential deadlock may happen
between kworker and checkpoint as below:

[T:writeback]				[T:checkpoint]
- wb_writeback
 - blk_start_plug
bio contains NodeA was plugged in writeback threads
					- do_writepages  -- sync write inodeB, inc wb_sync_req[DATA]
					 - f2fs_write_data_pages
					  - f2fs_write_single_data_page -- write last dirty page
					   - f2fs_do_write_data_page
					    - set_page_writeback  -- clear page dirty flag and
					    PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY tag in radix tree
					    - f2fs_outplace_write_data
					     - f2fs_update_data_blkaddr
					      - f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback -- wait NodeA to writeback here
					   - inode_dec_dirty_pages
 - writeback_sb_inodes
  - writeback_single_inode
   - do_writepages
    - f2fs_write_data_pages -- skip writepages due to wb_sync_req[DATA]
     - wbc->pages_skipped += get_dirty_pages() -- PAGECACHE_TAG_DIRTY is not set but get_dirty_pages() returns one
  - requeue_inode -- requeue inode to wb->b_dirty queue due to non-zero.pages_skipped
 - blk_finish_plug

Let's try to avoid deadlock condition by forcing unplugging previous bio via
blk_finish_plug(current->plug) once we'v skipped writeback in writepages()
due to valid sbi->wb_sync_req[DATA/NODE].

README 

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
