f2fs: add superblock and major in-memory structure

This adds the following major in-memory structures in f2fs.

- f2fs_sb_info:
  contains f2fs-specific information, two special inode pointers for node and
  meta address spaces, and orphan inode management.

- f2fs_inode_info:
  contains vfs_inode and other fs-specific information.

- f2fs_nm_info:
  contains node manager information such as NAT entry cache, free nid list,
  and NAT page management.

- f2fs_node_info:
  represents a node as node id, inode number, block address, and its version.

- f2fs_sm_info:
  contains segment manager information such as SIT entry cache, free segment
  map, current active logs, dirty segment management, and segment utilization.
  The specific structures are sit_info, free_segmap_info, dirty_seglist_info,
  curseg_info.

In addition, add F2FS_SUPER_MAGIC in magic.h.

f2fs: add checkpoint operations

This adds functions required by the checkpoint operations.

Basically, f2fs adopts a roll-back model with checkpoint blocks written in the
CP area. The checkpoint procedure includes as follows.

- write_checkpoint()
1. block_operations() freezes VFS calls.
2. submit cached bios.
3. flush_nat_entries() writes NAT pages updated by dirty NAT entries.
4. flush_sit_entries() writes SIT pages updated by dirty SIT entries.
5. do_checkpoint() writes,
  - checkpoint block (#0)
  - orphan inode blocks
  - summary blocks made by active logs
  - checkpoint block (copy of #0)
6. unblock_opeations()

In order to provide an address space for meta pages, f2fs_sb_info has a special
inode, namely meta_inode. This patch also adds the address space operations for
meta_inode.

f2fs: add node operations

This adds specific functions to manage NAT pages, a cache for NAT entries, free
nids, direct/indirect node blocks for indexing data, and address space for node
pages.

- The key information of an NAT entry consists of a node id and a block address.

- An NAT page is composed of block addresses covered by a certain range of NAT
  entries, which is maintained by the address space of meta_inode.

- A radix tree structure is used to cache NAT entries. The index for the tree
  is a node id.

- When there is no free nid, F2FS should scan NAT entries to find new one. In
  order to avoid scanning frequently, F2FS manages a list containing a number of
  free nids in memory. Only when free nids in the list are exhausted, scanning
  process, build_free_nids(), is triggered.

- F2FS has direct and indirect node blocks for indexing data. This patch adds
  fuctions related to the node block management such as getting, allocating, and
  truncating node blocks to index data.

- In order to cache node blocks in memory, F2FS has a node_inode with an address
  space for node pages. This patch also adds the address space operations for
  node_inode.

f2fs: add segment operations

This adds specific functions not only to manage dirty/free segments, SIT pages,
a cache for SIT entries, and summary entries, but also to allocate free blocks
and write three types of pages: data, node, and meta.

- F2FS maintains three types of bitmaps in memory, which indicate free, prefree,
  and dirty segments respectively.

- The key information of an SIT entry consists of a segment number, the number
  of valid blocks in the segment, a bitmap to identify there-in valid or invalid
  blocks.

- An SIT page is composed of a certain range of SIT entries, which is maintained
  by the address space of meta_inode.

- To cache SIT entries, a simple array is used. The index for the array is the
  segment number.

- A summary entry for data contains the parent node information. A summary entry
  for node contains its node offset from the inode.

- F2FS manages information about six active logs and those summary entries in
  memory. Whenever one of them is changed, its summary entries are flushed to
  its SIT page maintained by the address space of meta_inode.

- This patch adds a default block allocation function which supports heap-based
  allocation policy.

- This patch adds core functions to write data, node, and meta pages. Since LFS
  basically produces a series of sequential writes, F2FS merges sequential bios
  with a single one as much as possible to reduce the IO scheduling overhead.

f2fs: add garbage collection functions

This adds on-demand and background cleaning functions.

- The basic background cleaning policy is trying to do cleaning jobs as much as
  possible whenever the system is idle. Once the background cleaning is done,
  the cleaner sleeps an amount of time not to interfere with VFS calls. The time
  is dynamically adjusted according to the status of whole segments, which is
  decreased when the following conditions are satisfied.

  . GC is not conducted currently, and
  . IO subsystem is idle by checking the number of requets in bdev's request
     list, and
  . There are enough dirty segments.

  Otherwise, the time is increased incrementally until to the maximum time.
  Note that, min and max times are 10 secs and 30 secs by default.

- F2FS adopts a default victim selection policy where background cleaning uses
  a cost-benefit algorithm, while on-demand cleaning uses a greedy algorithm.

- The method of moving data during the cleaning is slightly different between
  background and on-demand cleaning schemes. In the case of background cleaning,
  F2FS loads the data, and marks them as dirty. Then, F2FS expects that the data
  will be moved by flusher or VM. In the case of on-demand cleaning, F2FS should
  move the data right away.

- In order to identify valid blocks in a victim segment, F2FS scans the bitmap
  of the segment managed as an SIT entry.

f2fs: add recovery routines for roll-forward

This adds roll-forward routines to recover fsynced data.

- F2FS uses basically roll-back model with checkpointing.

- In order to implement fsync(), there are two approaches as follows.

1. A roll-back model with checkpointing at every fsync()
 : This is a naive method, but suffers from very low performance.

2. A roll-forward model
 : F2FS adopts this model where all the fsynced data should be recovered, which
   were written after checkpointing was done. In order to figure out the data,
   F2FS keeps a "fsync" mark in direct node blocks. In addition, F2FS remains
   the location of next node block in each direct node block for reconstructing
   the chain of node blocks during the recovery.

- In order to enhance the performance, F2FS keeps a "dentry" mark also in direct
  node blocks. If this is set during the recovery, F2FS replays adding a dentry.

f2fs: move proc files to debugfs

This moves all of the f2fs debugging files into debugfs. The files are
located in /sys/kernel/debug/f2fs/

Note, I think we are generating all of the same information in each of
the files for every unique f2fs filesystem in the machine.  This copies
the functionality that was present in the proc files, but this should be
fixed up in the future.

Accordingly, I've found lots of warnings and bugs related to the endian
conversion. And I've fixed all at this moment.
