nilfs2: extend nilfs_sustat ioctl struct

This adds a new argument to the nilfs_sustat structure.

The extended field allows to delete volatile active state of segments,
which was needed to protect freshly-created segments from garbage
collection but has confused code dealing with segments.  This
extension alleviates the mess and gives room for further
simplifications.

The volatile active flag is not persistent, so it's eliminable on this
occasion without affecting compatibility other than the ioctl change.
