f2fs: Avoid double lock for cp_rwsem during checkpoint

There could be a scenario where f2fs_sync_node_pages gets
called during checkpoint, which in turn tries to flush
inline data and calls iput(). This results in deadlock as
iput() tries to hold cp_rwsem, which is already held at the
beginning by checkpoint->block_operations().

Call stack :

Thread A		Thread B
f2fs_write_checkpoint()
- block_operations(sbi)
 - f2fs_lock_all(sbi);
  - down_write(&sbi->cp_rwsem);

                        - open()
                         - igrab()
                        - write() write inline data
                        - unlink()
- f2fs_sync_node_pages()
 - if (is_inline_node(page))
  - flush_inline_data()
   - ilookup()
     page = f2fs_pagecache_get_page()
     if (!page)
      goto iput_out;
     iput_out:
			-close()
			-iput()
       iput(inode);
       - f2fs_evict_inode()
        - f2fs_truncate_blocks()
         - f2fs_lock_op()
           - down_read(&sbi->cp_rwsem);
