Could you please add below race condition description into commit message?

- f2fs_write_end_io
					- f2fs_iget
					 - do_read_inode
					  - set_cold_node
					  recover cold node flag
 - f2fs_in_warm_node_list
  - is_cold_node
  if node is cold, assume we have added
  node to fsync_node_list during writepages()
 - f2fs_del_fsync_node_entry
  - f2fs_bug_on() due to node page
  is not in fsync_node_list

BTW, I'm curious about why we can lose cold flag for non-dir inode?
any clue to reproduce this bug (I mean losing cold flag)?
