Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: separate NOCoW and pinfile semantics
Date:   Thu, 12 May 2022 16:21:16 +0800

Pinning a file is heavy, because skipping pinned files make GC
running with heavy load or no effect.

So that this patch proposes to separate nocow and pinfile semantics:
- NOCoW flag can only be set on regular file.
- NOCoW file will only trigger IPU at common writeback/flush.
- NOCow file will do OPU during GC.

This flag can satisfying the demand of:
1) avoiding fragment of file's physical block
2) userspace doesn't want to pin file's physical address
