This round introduces several interesting features such as on-disk NAT bitmaps,
IO alignment, and a discard thread. And it includes a couple of major bug fixes
as below.
== Enhancement ==
- introduce on-disk bitmaps to avoid scanning NAT blocks when getting free nids
- support IO alignment to prepare open-channel SSD integration in future
- introduce a discard thread to avoid long latency during checkpoint and fstrim
- use SSR for warm node and enable inline_xattr by default
- introduce in-memory bitmaps to check FS consistency for debugging
- improve write_begin by avoiding needless read IO
== Bug fix ==
- fix broken zone_reset behavior for SMR drive
- fix wrong victim selection policy during GC
- fix missing behavior when preparing discard commands
- fix bugs in atomic write support and fiemap
- workaround to handle multiple f2fs_add_link calls having same name
And it includes a bunch of clean-up patches as well.

The introduction of the multi-device feature partially broke the support
for zoned block devices. In the function f2fs_scan_devices, sbi->devs
allocation and initialization is skipped in the case of a single device
mount. This result in no device information structure being allocated
for the device. This is fine if the device is a regular device, but in
the case of a zoned block device, the device zone type array is not
initialized, which causes the function __f2fs_issue_discard_zone to fail
as get_blkz_type is unable to determine the zone type of a section.
Fix this by always allocating and initializing the sbi->devs device
information array even in the case of a single device if that device is
zoned. For this particular case, make sure to obtain a reference on the
single device so that the call to blkdev_put() in destroy_device_list
operates as expected.

This patch implements IO alignment by filling dummy blocks in DATA and NODE
write bios. If we can guarantee, for example, 32KB or 64KB for such the IOs,
we can eliminate underlying dummy page problem which FTL conducts in order to
close MLC or TLC partial written pages.
Note that,
- it requires "-o mode=lfs".
- IO size should be power of 2, not exceed BIO_MAX_PAGES, 256.
- read IO is still 4KB.
- do checkpoint at fsync, if dummy NODE page was written.

There was an unnecessary amount of complexity around requesting the
filesystem-specific key prefix. It was unclear why; perhaps it was
envisioned that different instances of the same filesystem type could
use different key prefixes, or that key prefixes could be binary.
However, neither of those things were implemented or really make sense
at all. So simplify the code by making key_prefix a const char *.

With the zoned block device feature enabled, section discard
need to do a zone reset for sections contained in sequential
zones, and a regular discard (if supported) for sections
stored in conventional zones. Avoid the need for a costly

by caching the types of the device zones in the super block
information. This cache is initialized at mount time for mounts
