    f2fs: write checkpoint during FG_GC
    
    [ Upstream commit a9163b947ae8f7af7cb8d63606cd87b9facbfe74 ]
    
    If there's not enough free sections each of which consistis of large segments,
    we can hit no free section for upcoming section allocation. Let's reclaim some
    prefree segments by writing checkpoints.
