Hi,

f2fs_radix_tree_insert is used in many places, it was introduced to used in
some paths we should not failed.

And here, I guess we used it for the same purpose, if we failed to insert
@current pointer into radix, next time, we may not skip calling
trace_printk, actually it will print the same current->comm info as
previous one, it's redundant.

Thanks,
