Introduce accessor to get the sections based upon the block type
(node,dents...) and modify the functions : should_do_checkpoint,
has_not_enough_free_secs to use this accessor function to get
the node sections and dent sections.

Currently GC task is started for each f2fs formatted/mounted device.
But, when we check the task list, using 'ps', there is no distinguishing
factor between the tasks. So, name the task as per the block device just
like the flusher threads.
Also, remove the macro GC_THREAD_NAME and instead use the name: f2fs_gc
to avoid name length truncation, as the command length is 16
-> TASK_COMM_LEN 16 and example name like:
f2fs_gc_task:8:16 -> this exceeds name length
Before Patch for 2 F2FS formatted partitions:
root 28061 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 10:31 0:00 [f2fs_gc_task]
root 28087 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 10:32 0:00 [f2fs_gc_task]
After Patch:
root 16756 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 14:57 0:00 [f2fs_gc-8:18]
root 16765 0.0 0.0 0 0 ? S 14:57 0:00 [f2fs_gc-8:19]

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

This adds on-demand and background cleaning functions.
- The basic background cleaning policy is trying to do cleaning jobs as much as
possible whenever the system is idle. Once the background cleaning is done,
the cleaner sleeps an amount of time not to interfere with VFS calls. The time
is dynamically adjusted according to the status of whole segments, which is
decreased when the following conditions are satisfied.
. GC is not conducted currently, and
. IO subsystem is idle by checking the number of requets in bdev's request
list, and
. There are enough dirty segments.
Otherwise, the time is increased incrementally until to the maximum time.
Note that, min and max times are 10 secs and 30 secs by default.
- F2FS adopts a default victim selection policy where background cleaning uses
a cost-benefit algorithm, while on-demand cleaning uses a greedy algorithm.
- The method of moving data during the cleaning is slightly different between
background and on-demand cleaning schemes. In the case of background cleaning,
F2FS loads the data, and marks them as dirty. Then, F2FS expects that the data
will be moved by flusher or VM. In the case of on-demand cleaning, F2FS should
move the data right away.
- In order to identify valid blocks in a victim segment, F2FS scans the bitmap
of the segment managed as an SIT entry.
