Especially, for node blocks, we should do this before marking its fsync

When seeking data in ->llseek, if we encounter a big hole which covers
several dnode pages, we will try to seek data from index of page which
is the first page of next dnode page, at most we could skip searching
(ADDRS_PER_BLOCK - 1) pages.
However it's still not efficient, because if our indirect/double-indirect
pointer are NULL, there are no dnode page locate in the tree indirect/
double-indirect pointer point to, it's not necessary to search the whole
region.
This patch introduces get_next_page_offset to calculate next page offset
based on current searching level and max searching level returned from
get_dnode_of_data, with this, we could skip searching the entire area
indirect or double-indirect node block is not exist.

There are redundant pointer conversion in following call stack:
- at position a, inode was been converted to f2fs_file_info.
- at position b, f2fs_file_info was been converted to inode again.
- truncate_blocks(inode,..)
- fi = F2FS_I(inode) ---a
- ADDRS_PER_PAGE(node_page, fi)
- addrs_per_inode(fi)
- inode = &fi->vfs_inode ---b
- f2fs_has_inline_xattr(inode)
- fi = F2FS_I(inode)
- is_inode_flag_set(fi,..)
In order to avoid unneeded conversion, alter ADDRS_PER_PAGE and
addrs_per_inode to acept parameter with type of inode pointer.

The sceanrio is:
1. create fully node blocks
2. flush node blocks
3. write inline_data for all the node blocks again
4. flush node blocks redundantly
So, this patch tries to flush inline_data when flushing node blocks.

After finishing building free nid cache, we will try to readahead
asynchronously 4 more pages for the next reloading, the count of
readahead nid pages is fixed.
In some case, like SMR drive, read less sectors with fixed count
each time we trigger RA may be low efficient, since we will face
high seeking overhead, so we'd better let user to configure this
parameter from sysfs in specific workload.

When there is no free nid in nid cache, all new node allocaters stop their
job to wait for reloading of free nids, however reloading is synchronous as
we will read 4 NAT pages for building nid cache, it cause the long latency.
This patch tries to readahead more NAT pages with READA request flag after
reloading of free nids. It helps to improve performance when users allocate
node id intensively.

Now, we use ra_meta_pages to reads continuous physical blocks as much as
possible to improve performance of following reads. However, ra_meta_pages
uses a synchronous readahead approach by submitting bio with READ, as READ
is with high priority, it can not be used in the case of preloading blocks,
and it's not sure when these RAed pages will be used.
This patch supports asynchronous readahead in ra_meta_pages by tagging bio
with READA flag in order to allow preloading.

In recovery or checkpoint flow, we grab pages temperarily in meta inode's
mapping for caching temperary data, actually, datas in these pages were
not meta data of f2fs, but still we tag them with REQ_META flag. However,
lower device like eMMC may do some optimization for data of such type.
So in order to avoid wrong optimization, we'd better remove such flag
for temperary non-meta pages.

The periodic checkpoint can resolve the previous issue.
So, now we can use this again to improve the reported performance regression:
https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/10/8/20
This reverts commit 15bec0ff5a9ba6d203178fa8772259df6207942a.
Previously, we skip dentry block writes when wbc is SYNC_NONE with no memory
pressure and the number of dirty pages is pretty small.
But, we didn't skip for normal data writes, which gives us not much big impact
on overall performance.
Moreover, by skipping some data writes, kworker falls into infinite loop to try
to write blocks, when many dir inodes have only one dentry block.
So, this patch removes skipping data writes.
