We need to flush data writes before flushing last node block writes by using
FUA with PREFLUSH. We don't need to guarantee precedent node writes since if
those are not written, we can't reach to the last node block when scanning
node block chain during roll-forward recovery.
Afterwards f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback guarantees all the IO submission to
disk, which builds a valid node block chain.

During free nid allocation, in order to do preallocation, we will tag free
nid entry as allocated one and still leave it in free nid list, for other
allocators who want to grab free nids, it needs to traverse the free nid
list for lookup. It becomes overhead in scenario of allocating free nid
intensively by multithreads.
This patch splits free nid list to two list: {free,alloc}_nid_list, to
keep free nids and preallocated free nids separately, after that, traverse
latency will be gone, besides split nid_cnt for separate statistic.
Additionally, introduce __insert_nid_to_list and __remove_nid_from_list for

During nid allocation, it needs to exclude building and allocating flow
of free nids, this is because while building free nid cache, there are two
steps: a) load free nids from unused nat entries in NAT pages, b) update
free nid cache by checking nat journal. The two steps should be atomical,
otherwise an used nid can be allocated as free one after a) and before b).
This patch adds missing lock which covers build_free_nids in

It is not make sence, since it will be not convenient if developer want
to test separated partitions with different fault injection rate/type

For foreground GC, we cache node blocks in victim section and set them
dirty, then we call sync_node_pages to flush these node pages, but
meanwhile, those node pages which does not locate in victim section
will be flushed together, so more bandwidth and continuous free space
