The purpose of calling this here is mainly to avoid triggering the
f2fs_bug_on(sbi, 1); statement in the subsequent f2fs_put_super() due
to a reference count check failure. 
I would say it's possible, but there doesn't seem to be much more we
can do in this scenario: the inode is about to be freed, and the file
system is read-only. Or do we need a mechanism to save the inode that
is about to be freed and then write it back to disk at the appropriate
time after the file system becomes rw again? But such a mechanism
sounds somewhat complex and a little bit of weird... Do you have any
suggestions?
