f2fs: Fix deadlock in f2fs_gc() context during atomic files handling
The FS got stuck in the below stack when the storage is almost full/dirty condition (when FG_GC is being done). schedule_timeout io_schedule_timeout congestion_wait f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all f2fs_gc f2fs_balance_fs __write_node_page f2fs_fsync_node_pages f2fs_do_sync_file f2fs_ioctl The root cause for this issue is there is a potential infinite loop in f2fs_drop_inmem_pages_all() for the case where gc_failure is true and when there an inode whose i_gc_failures[GC_FAILURE_ATOMIC] is not set. Fix this by keeping track of the total atomic files currently opened and using that to exit from this condition.
