Re: [PATCH] f2fs: don't set FI_COMPRESS_RELEASED if file is not compressed

[zhou dan]

On Android S, after the app is installed, it will judge whether the file
is allowed to be compressed and release it. In the case of compress_mode=user,
the file is not compressed at this point, causing EVNAL to be returned on
subsequent executions to release.
In the method 'isCompressionAllowed', there is also such a notice:"NOTE:
The return value does not mean if the given file, or any other file on
the same file system, is actually compressed. It merely determines whether
not files <em>may</em> be compressed."
