f2fs: fix to update cached_en of extent tree properly
In f2fs_lookup_extent_tree, et->cached_en was read and updated with only read lock held, it could cause __lookup_extent_tree within return entirely wrong extent_node, if other thread update et->cached_en just before __lookup_extent_tree return. However, there are two things about this patch that need to be noticed: 1. It does no good to arrange the order of concurrent read/write, the result would still be random in such case. 2. It's built on this assumption: the mix up of reads and writes on a single pointer would not make the pointer partially wrong at any time. Please let me know if I'm wrong, thx.
