[ Upstream commit 2eeb0dce728a7eac3e4dfe355d98af40d61f7a26 ]

This tries to fix priority inversion in the below condition resulting in
long checkpoint delay.

f2fs_get_node_info()
 - nat_tree_lock
  -> sleep to grab journal_rwsem by contention

                                     checkpoint
                                     - waiting for nat_tree_lock

In order to let checkpoint go, let's release nat_tree_lock, if there's a
journal_rwsem contention.
