There is still deadloop in below condition:

d A
- do_writepages
 - f2fs_write_node_pages
  - f2fs_balance_fs_bg
   - f2fs_sync_dirty_inodes
    - f2fs_write_cache_pages
     - mutex_lock(&sbi->writepages)	-- lock once
     - __write_data_page
      - f2fs_balance_fs_bg
       - f2fs_sync_dirty_inodes
        - f2fs_write_data_pages
         - mutex_lock(&sbi->writepages)	-- lock again

Thread A			Thread B
- do_writepages
 - f2fs_write_node_pages
  - f2fs_balance_fs_bg
   - f2fs_sync_dirty_inodes
    - .cp_task = current
				- f2fs_sync_dirty_inodes
				 - .cp_task = current
				 - filemap_fdatawrite
				 - .cp_task = NULL
    - filemap_fdatawrite
     - f2fs_write_cache_pages
      - enter f2fs_balance_fs_bg since .cp_task is NULL
    - .cp_task = NULL

Change as below to avoid this:
- add condition to avoid holding .writepages mutex lock in path
of data flush
- introduce mutex lock sbi.flush_lock to exclude concurrent data
flush in background.
