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

This patch should resolve the bugs reported by the sparse tool.
Initial reports were written by "kbuild test robot" managed by fengguang.wu.
In my local machines, I've tested also by running:
> make C=2 CF="-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__"
Accordingly, I've found lots of warnings and bugs related to the endian
conversion. And I've fixed all at this moment.

This adds roll-forward routines to recover fsynced data.
- F2FS uses basically roll-back model with checkpointing.
- In order to implement fsync(), there are two approaches as follows.
1. A roll-back model with checkpointing at every fsync()
: This is a naive method, but suffers from very low performance.
2. A roll-forward model
: F2FS adopts this model where all the fsynced data should be recovered, which
were written after checkpointing was done. In order to figure out the data,
F2FS keeps a "fsync" mark in direct node blocks. In addition, F2FS remains
the location of next node block in each direct node block for reconstructing
the chain of node blocks during the recovery.
- In order to enhance the performance, F2FS keeps a "dentry" mark also in direct
node blocks. If this is set during the recovery, F2FS replays adding a dentry.
