Good catch! ;)

I can understand this condition, but for other new developer who reads this
commit, it will be a little hard to understand situation here.

How about explaining a little more about problem here, maybe:

Thread A			Thread B		
- f2fs_write_data_pages
 -  __write_data_page
  - f2fs_submit_page_write
   - inc_page_count(F2FS_WB_DATA)
     type is F2FS_WB_DATA due to file is non-atomic one
- f2fs_ioc_start_atomic_write
 - set_inode_flag(FI_ATOMIC_FILE)
				- f2fs_write_end_io
				 - dec_page_count(F2FS_WB_CP_DATA)
				   type is F2FS_WB_DATA due to file becomes
				   atomic one
