f2fs: use spinlock for segmap_lock instead of rwlock
rwlock can provide better concurrency when there are much more readers than writers because readers can hold the rwlock simultaneously. But now, for segmap_lock rwlock in struct free_segmap_info, there is only one reader 'mount' from below call path: ->f2fs_fill_super ->build_segment_manager ->build_dirty_segmap ->init_dirty_segmap ->find_next_inuse read_lock ... read_unlock Now that our concurrency can not be improved since there is no other reader for this lock, we do not need to use rwlock_t type for segmap_lock, let's replace it with spinlock_t type.
