[PATCH 1/2] f2fs: write checkpoint during FG_GC

[Jaegeuk Kim]

From: Byungki Lee <dominicus79@xxxxxxxxx>

If there's not enough free sections each of which consistis of large segments,
we can hit no free section for upcoming section allocation. Let's reclaim some
prefree segments by writing checkpoints.
