With cost-benifit method, background gc will consider old section with fewer valid blocks as candidate victim, these old blocks in section will be treated as cold data, and laterly will be moved into cold segment.
But if the gcing page is attached by user through buffered or mmaped write, we should reset the page as non-cold one, because this page may have more opportunity for further updating. So fix to add clearing code for the missed 'mmap' case.
