f2fs: avoid IO split due to mixed WB_SYNC_ALL and WB_SYNC_NONE
If two threads try to flush dirty pages in different inodes respectively, f2fs_write_data_pages() will produce WRITE and WRITE_SYNC one at a time, resulting in a lot of 4KB seperated IOs. So, this patch gives higher priority to WB_SYNC_ALL IOs and gathers write IOs with a big WRITE_SYNC'ed bio. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@kernel.org>
