The caller of start_bidx_of_node() should give proper node offsets which
point only direct node blocks. Otherwise, it is a caller's bug.
This patch adds comments to make it clear.

I'd like to revisit the f2fs_gc flow and rewrite as follows.
1. In practical, the nGC parameter of f2fs_gc is meaningless. So, let's
remove it.
2. Background GC marks victim blocks as dirty one at a time.
3. Foreground GC should do cleaning job until acquiring enough free
sections. Afterwards, it needs to do checkpoint.

This patch also resolves the following warning reported by kbuild test robot.
fs/f2fs/gc.c: In function 'start_bidx_of_node':
fs/f2fs/gc.c:453:21: warning: 'bidx' may be used uninitialized in this function

No need to initialize "struct f2fs_gc_kthread *gc_th = NULL",
as gc_th = NULL, will be taken care by the return values of kmalloc().
And fix codes in other places.

As pointed out by Randy Dunlap, this patch removes all usage of "/**" for comment
blocks. Instead, just use "/*".

This adds on-demand and background cleaning functions.
- The basic background cleaning policy is trying to do cleaning jobs as much as
possible whenever the system is idle. Once the background cleaning is done,
the cleaner sleeps an amount of time not to interfere with VFS calls. The time
is dynamically adjusted according to the status of whole segments, which is
decreased when the following conditions are satisfied.
. GC is not conducted currently, and
. IO subsystem is idle by checking the number of requets in bdev's request
list, and
. There are enough dirty segments.
Otherwise, the time is increased incrementally until to the maximum time.
Note that, min and max times are 10 secs and 30 secs by default.
- F2FS adopts a default victim selection policy where background cleaning uses
a cost-benefit algorithm, while on-demand cleaning uses a greedy algorithm.
- The method of moving data during the cleaning is slightly different between
background and on-demand cleaning schemes. In the case of background cleaning,
F2FS loads the data, and marks them as dirty. Then, F2FS expects that the data
will be moved by flusher or VM. In the case of on-demand cleaning, F2FS should
move the data right away.
- In order to identify valid blocks in a victim segment, F2FS scans the bitmap
of the segment managed as an SIT entry.
