I think we need to add has_merged_page into __f2fs_submit_merged_write to
check whether we should submit bio from different log, otherwise we will
missed to submit bio in below condition:

- f2fs_write_cache_pages
 - add page into bio cache of cold log
 - add page into bio cache of warm log
 - f2fs_submit_merged_write_cond(inode)
   - __f2fs_submit_merged_write(warm) -- missed to submit bio of cold log

Thanks,
