To fix a race condition between atomic write aborts, I use the inode
lock and make COW inode to be re-usable thoroughout the whole
atomic file inode lifetime.

It looks "fi->cow_inode = NULL" here may race w/ cow_inode allocation in
f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write due to f2fs_write_inode() has not been covered
by inode_lock()? IIUC.

Thanks,
