f2fs: don't need to wait for node writes for atomic write
We have a node chain to serialize node block writes, so if any IOs for
node block writes are reordered, we'll get broken node chain. IOWs,
roll-forward recovery will see all or none node blocks given fsync
mark.
E.g.,
Node chain consists of:
N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> NFSYNC -> N1' -> N2' -> N'FSYNC
Reordered to:
1) N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> N2' -> NFSYNC -> N'FSYNC -> power-cut
2) N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> N1' -> NFSYNC -> power-cut
3) N1 -> N2 -> NFSYNC -> N1' -> N'FSYNC -> N3 -> power-cut
4) N1 -> NFSYNC -> N1' -> N2' -> N'FSYNC -> N3 -> power-cut
Roll-forward recovery can proceed to:
1) N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> NFSYNC -> X
2) N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> NFSYNC -> N1' -> X
3) N1 -> N2 -> N3 -> FSYNC -> N1' -> X
4) N1 -> X
