I came across a hungtask problem as below:

INFO: task 962 blocked for more than 120 s.

Call trace:

Besides, there are also lots of other operations were blocked
by gc_mutex like here.

The comments said we should do GC or end up with checkpoint, if there
are so many dirty dir/node pages without enough free segments. But should
all theads wait for gc if the condition is not satisfied? Maybe if someone
is gcing, they can by pass it.
