Two things here; 1) I do worry much about when hitting boundary on
has_not_enough_free_secs() which calculates # of free segments based on # of
dirty pages. In this case, we just jump to allocate another free segment so
I think it increases the possiblity of no free segment panic. 2) Even if we
do call FGGC a lot, I don't think it will *ruin* the hot/cold data separation
a lot. Putting hot/warm blocks together into cold log will make another hot
segment which was being used as cold log. IOWs, we don't need to keep hot data
in hot log at all, but should be fine to split hot and cold data in different
segments. So, I chose to go safer way since this is eating free segments
directly.
