nilfs2: free unused dat file blocks during garbage collection
As a nilfs2 volume ages, the amount of available disk space decreases
little by little due to bloat of DAT (disk address translation) metadata
file. Even if we delete all files in a file system and free their block
addresses from the DAT file through a garbage collection, empty DAT blocks
are not freed.
This fixes the issue by extending the deallocator of block addresses so
that empty data blocks and empty bitmap blocks of DAT are deleted.
The following comparison shows the effect of this patch. Each shows disk
amount information of a nilfs2 volume that we cleaned out by deleting all
files and running gc after having filled 90% of its capacity.
