f2fs: sync dir->i_size with its block allocation
If new dentry block is allocated and its i_size is updated, we should update
its inode block together in order to sync i_size and its block allocation.
Otherwise, we can loose additional dentry block due to the unconsistent i_size.
Errorneous Scenario
-------------------
In the recovery routine,
- recovery_dentry
| - __f2fs_add_link
| | - get_new_data_page
| | | - i_size_write(new_i_size)
| | | - mark_inode_dirty_sync(dir)
| | - update_parent_metadata
| | | - mark_inode_dirty(dir)
|
- write_checkpoint
- sync_dirty_dir_inodes
- filemap_flush(dentry_blocks)
- f2fs_write_data_page
- skip to write the last dentry block due to index < i_size
In the above flow, new_i_size is not updated to its inode block so that the
last dentry block will be lost accordingly.
