f2fs recovery flow is relying on dnode block link list, it means fsynced
file recovery depends on previous dnode's persistence in the list, so
during fsync() we should wait on all regular inode's dnode writebacked
before issuing flush.
By this way, we can avoid dnode block list being broken by out-of-order
IO submission due to IO scheduler or driver.
Sheng Yong helps to do the test with this patch:

It looks like atomic write will suffer performance regression.
I suspect that the criminal is that we forcing to wait all dnode being in
storage cache before we issue PREFLUSH+FUA.
BTW, will commit ("f2fs: don't need to wait for node writes for atomic write")
cause the problem: we will lose data of last transaction after SPO, even if
atomic write return no error:
- atomic_open();
- write() P1, P2, P3;
- atomic_commit();
- writeback data: P1, P2, P3;
- writeback node: N1, N2, N3; <--- If N1, N2 is not writebacked, N3 with fsync_mark is
writebacked, In SPOR, we won't find N3 since node chain is broken, turns out that losing
last transaction.
- preflush + fua;
- power-cut
If we don't wait dnode writeback for atomic_write:

SQLite's performance recovers.
Jaegeuk:
"Practically, I don't see db corruption becase of this. We can excuse to lose
the last transaction."
Finally, we decide to keep original implementation of atomic write interface
sematics that we don't wait all dnode writeback before preflush+fua submission.
