[ Upstream commit 2eeb0dce728a7eac3e4dfe355d98af40d61f7a26 ]
This tries to fix priority inversion in the below condition resulting in
long checkpoint delay.
f2fs_get_node_info()
- nat_tree_lock
-> sleep to grab journal_rwsem by contention
checkpoint
- waiting for nat_tree_lock
In order to let checkpoint go, let's release nat_tree_lock, if there's a
journal_rwsem contention.
