[PATCH AUTOSEL 5.13 15/88] f2fs: don't sleep while grabing nat_tree_lock

From: Sasha Levin

From: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk@xxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 2eeb0dce728a7eac3e4dfe355d98af40d61f7a26 ]

This tries to fix priority inversion in the below condition resulting in
long checkpoint delay.

f2fs_get_node_info()
- nat_tree_lock
-> sleep to grab journal_rwsem by contention

checkpoint
- waiting for nat_tree_lock

In order to let checkpoint go, let's release nat_tree_lock, if there's a
journal_rwsem contention.
