f2fs: avoid to access NULL pointer in issue_flush_thread 

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75861

Denis 2014-05-10 11:28:59 UTC reported:
"F2FS-fs (mmcblk0p28): mounting..
 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000018

This patch assign cmd_control_info in sm_info before issue_flush_thread is being
created, so this make sure that issue flush thread will have no chance to access
invalid info in fcc.
