I will add erofs prefix to free_inode as you said.
At least, all non-prefix functions in erofs are all static functions,
it won't pollute namespace... I will add "erofs_" to other meaningful
callbacks...And as you can see...

It's reasonable, I will change as you suggested.
(The difference is whether it has some buffer_head to the sb page or not...)

That was my fault when spilting patches...considering
it's an >7KLOC filesystem (maybe spilting the whole xfs or
ext4 properly is more harder)... Anyway, that is my fault.

Same as above...
