Re: [PATCH v2] f2fs: avoid freqeunt write_inode calls

[Jaegeuk Kim]

Change log from v1:
 o declare *static* to f2fs_dirty_inode (reported by kbuild-test-robot)

Subject: [PATCH] f2fs: avoid freqeunt write_inode calls
Cc: linux-fsdevel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, linux-kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx,
linux-f2fs-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

If update_inode is called, we don't need to do write_inode.
So, let's use a *dirty* flag for each inode.
