Even though we can reduce the summary block to 4KB, we need to maintain
backward compatibility for the checkpoint area. Therefore, the summary
block there must match the block size, so it is correct to use F2FS_BLKSIZE.
Fixes: ad1357c34023 ("f2fs-tools: revert summary entry count from 2048 to 512 in 16kb block support")
