    f2fs: use spinlock for segmap_lock instead of rwlock · 1a118ccf

    rwlock can provide better concurrency when there are much more readers than
    writers because readers can hold the rwlock simultaneously.
    
    But now, for segmap_lock rwlock in struct free_segmap_info, there is only one
    reader 'mount' from below call path:
    ->f2fs_fill_super
      ->build_segment_manager
        ->build_dirty_segmap
          ->init_dirty_segmap
            ->find_next_inuse
              read_lock
              ...
              read_unlock
    
    Now that our concurrency can not be improved since there is no other reader for
    this lock, we do not need to use rwlock_t type for segmap_lock, let's replace it
    with spinlock_t type.
