[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: fix to overcome inline_data floods

From: Jaegeuk Kim
Date: Sat Jan 23 2016 - 15:16:08 EST


The scenario is:
1. create lots of node blocks
2. sync
3. write lots of inline_data
-> got panic due to no free space

In that case, we should flush node blocks when writing inline_data in #3,
and trigger gc as well.
