Pull f2fs updates from Jaegeuk Kim:
 "In this round, as Ted pointed out, fscrypto allows one more key prefix
  given by filesystem to resolve backward compatibility issues.  Other
  than that, we've fixed several error handling cases by introducing
  a fault injection facility.  We've also achieved performance
  improvement in some workloads as well as a bunch of bug fixes.

  Summary:

  Enhancements:
   - fs-specific prefix for fscrypto
   - fault injection facility
   - expose validity bitmaps for user to be aware of fragmentation
   - fallocate/rm/preallocation speed up
   - use percpu counters

  Bug fixes:
   - some inline_dentry/inline_data bugs
   - error handling for atomic/volatile/orphan inodes
   - recover broken superblock"

<id>urn:sha1:6e9619499f53b22ead972e476c0e8341c997d929</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch tries to speedup fzero_range by making space preallocation and
address removal of blocks in one dnode page as in batch operation.

In virtual machine, with zram driver:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/mnt/f2fs/file bs=1M count=4096
time xfs_io -f /mnt/f2fs/file -c "fzero 0 4096M"

Before:
real	0m3.276s
user	0m0.008s
sys	0m3.260s

After:
real	0m1.568s
user	0m0.000s
sys	0m1.564s

atomic/volatile ioctl interfaces are exposed to user like other file
operation interface, it needs to make them getting exclusion against
to each other to avoid potential conflict among these operations
in concurrent scenario.

<content type='text'>
In interfaces of ioctl, mnt_{want,drop}_write_file should be used for:
- get exclusion against file system freezing which may used by lvm
  snapshot.
- do telling filesystem that a write is about to be performed on it, and
  make sure that the writes are permitted.
