f2fs: compress: fix to disallow enabling compress on non-empty file
[ Upstream commit 519a5a2f37b850f4eb86674a10d143088670a390 ]
Compressed inode and normal inode has different layout, so we should
disallow enabling compress on non-empty file to avoid race condition
during inode .i_addr array parsing and updating.
