commit 164a63fa6b384e30ceb96ed80bc7dc3379bc0960 upstream.
This reverts commit 66110abc4c931f879d70e83e1281f891699364bf.
If we clear the cold data flag out of the writeback flow, we can miscount -1 by end_io, which incurs a deadlock caused by all I/Os being blocked during heavy GC.
Balancing F2FS Async: - IO (CP: 1, Data: -1, Flush: ( 0 0 1), Discard: ( ...
GC thread: IRQ - move_data_page() - set_page_dirty() - clear_cold_data() - f2fs_write_end_io() - type = WB_DATA_TYPE(page); here, we get wrong type - dec_page_count(sbi, type); - f2fs_wait_on_page_writeback()
