    Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
     "In this round, we've focused on enhancing performance with regards to
      block allocation, GC, and discard/in-place-update IO controls. There
      are a bunch of clean-ups as well as minor bug fixes.
    
      Enhancements:
       - disable heap-based allocation by default
       - issue small-sized discard commands by default
       - change the policy of data hotness for logging
       - distinguish IOs in terms of size and wbc type
       - start SSR earlier to avoid foreground GC
       - enhance data structures managing discard commands
       - enhance in-place update flow
       - add some more fault injection routines
       - secure one more xattr entry
    
      Bug fixes:
       - calculate victim cost for GC correctly
       - remain correct victim segment number for GC
       - race condition in nid allocator and initializer
       - stale pointer produced by atomic_writes
       - fix missing REQ_SYNC for flush commands
       - handle missing errors in more corner cases"
