[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: add REQ_META about metadata requests for submit bio

[Namjae Jeon]

From: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Adding REQ_META for all the metadata requests can help in improving the
FS performance, if the underlying device supports TAGGING.
So, when considering the submit_bio path for all the f2fs requests. We can
add REQ_META for all the META requests.
As a precursor to this change we considered the commit
4265900e0be653f5b78baf2816857ef57cf1332f 'mmc: MMC-4.5 Data Tag Support'
