I did some testing. Looks like reverting Fengnan's change allows for
occasional, but significant, spikes in write latency. I'll work on a variation
of the patch that maintains the use of F2FS_ONSTACK_PAGES and send
that in the next version of the patch series. Thanks for pointing that out!

How do the remaining f2fs patches in the series look to you?
Patch 16/23 f2fs_sync_meta_pages() in particular seems like it may
be prone to problems. If there are any changes that need to be made to
it I can include those in the next version as well.
