Frankly speaking, I confused the behaviors without being aware of corner cases.
And thus, I dropped the patches already. Instead, I realized that what I did
was moving a range of blocks from one file to another file. So, I've been
testing a new ioctl, F2FS_IOC_MOVE_RANGE.
In terms of coverage, I just did some unit tests only.
