Added gc_dirty_segs and gc_dirty_segs_mode sysfs nodes.
1) "gc_dirty_segs" shows how many dirty segments have been
reclaimed by GC during a specific GC mode.
2) "gc_dirty_segs_mode" is used to control for which gc mode
the "gc_dirty_segs" node shows.

How about renaming gc_dirty_segs to gc_reclaimed_segments?

You know, F2FS_IOC_FLUSH_DEVICE/F2FS_IOC_RESIZE_FS needs to migrate all
blocks of target segment to other place, no matter the segment has partially
or fully valid blocks, so it looks 'gc_segment_mode' will be more appropriate?

Thanks,
