After removing lock here, how can we handle below condition:

commit 27319ba4044c0c67d62ae39e53c0118c89f0a029
Author: Chao Yu <yuchao0@xxxxxxxxxx>

f2fs: fix race in between GC and atomic open

Thread GC thread
- f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write
- get_dirty_pages
- filemap_write_and_wait_range
- f2fs_gc
- do_garbage_collect
- gc_data_segment
- move_data_page
- f2fs_is_atomic_file
- set_page_dirty
- set_inode_flag(, FI_ATOMIC_FILE)

Dirty data page can still be generated by GC in race condition as
above call stack.

This patch adds fi->dio_rwsem[WRITE] in f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write
to avoid such race.

Thanks,
