We should guarantee serving free sections for syncing metadata during fsync. Previously, there is no space check before triggering checkpoint and sync_node_pages. Therefore, if a bunch of fsync calls are triggered under 100% of FS utilization, f2fs is able to be faced with no free sections, resulting in BUG_ON().
