dotdot entry of f2fs is stored when creating only directory not
regular file. Am I correct ?
So when the parent of file was evicted, I thought we could not get
parent inode number of file thoughout dotdot entry.
And f2fs inode is having parent inode number unlike other fs. so I
think we can use this special thing by storing f2fs_inode_info.

Thanks.
