      Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
       "In this round, we've investigated how f2fs deals with errors given by
        our fault injection facility. With this, we could fix several corner
        cases. And, in order to improve the performance, we set inline_dentry
        by default and enhance the exisiting discard issue flow. In addition,
        we added f2fs_migrate_page for better memory management.
      
        Enhancements:
         - set inline_dentry by default
         - improve discard issue flow
         - add more fault injection cases in f2fs
         - allow block preallocation for encrypted files
         - introduce migrate_page callback function
         - avoid truncating the next direct node block at every checkpoint
      
        Bug fixes:
         - set page flag correctly between write_begin and write_end
         - missing error handling cases detected by fault injection
         - preallocate blocks regarding to 4KB alignement correctly
         - dentry and filename handling of encryption
         - lost xattrs of directories"
