f2fs: avoid race in between atomic_read & atomic_inc
Previously, we will miss merging flush command during fsync due to below race condition: Thread A Thread B Thread C - f2fs_issue_flush - atomic_read(&issing_flush) - f2fs_issue_flush - atomic_read(&issing_flush) - f2fs_issue_flush - atomic_read(&issing_flush) - atomic_inc(&issing_flush) - atomic_inc(&issing_flush) - atomic_inc(&issing_flush) - submit_flush_wait - submit_flush_wait - submit_flush_wait It needs to use atomic_inc_return instead to avoid such race.
