f2fs: avoid stucking GC due to atomic write
f2fs doesn't allow abuse on atomic write class interface, so except limiting in-mem pages' total memory usage capacity, we need to limit atomic-write usage as well when filesystem is seriously fragmented, otherwise we may run into infinite loop during foreground GC because target blocks in victim segment are belong to atomic opened file for long time. Now, we will detect failure due to atomic write in foreground GC, if the count exceeds threshold, we will drop all atomic written data in cache, by this, I expect it can keep our system running safely to prevent Dos attack. In addition, his patch adds to show GC skip information in debugfs, now it just shows count of skipped caused by atomic write.
