As Jiaming Zhang and syzbot reported, there is potential deadlock in
f2fs as below:

Chain exists of:
  &sbi->cp_rwsem --> fs_reclaim --> sb_internal#2

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  rlock(sb_internal#2);
                               lock(fs_reclaim);
                               lock(sb_internal#2);
  rlock(&sbi->cp_rwsem);

 *** DEADLOCK ***

The root cause is deadlock among four locks as below:

kswapd
- fs_reclaim --- Lock A
 - shrink_one
  - evict
   - f2fs_evict_inode
    - sb_start_intwrite --- Lock B

- iput
 - evict
  - f2fs_evict_inode
   - sb_start_intwrite --- Lock B
   - f2fs_truncate
    - f2fs_truncate_blocks
     - f2fs_do_truncate_blocks
      - f2fs_lock_op --- Lock C

ioctl
- f2fs_ioc_commit_atomic_write
 - f2fs_lock_op --- Lock C
  - __f2fs_commit_atomic_write
   - __replace_atomic_write_block
    - f2fs_get_dnode_of_data
     - __get_node_folio
      - f2fs_check_nid_range
       - f2fs_handle_error
        - f2fs_record_errors
         - f2fs_down_write --- Lock D

open
- do_open
 - do_truncate
  - security_inode_need_killpriv
   - f2fs_getxattr
    - lookup_all_xattrs
     - f2fs_handle_error
      - f2fs_record_errors
       - f2fs_down_write --- Lock D
        - f2fs_commit_super
         - read_mapping_folio
          - filemap_alloc_folio_noprof
           - prepare_alloc_pages
            - fs_reclaim_acquire --- Lock A

In order to avoid such deadlock, we need to avoid grabbing sb_lock in
f2fs_handle_error(), so, let's use asynchronous method instead:
- remove f2fs_handle_error() implementation
- rename f2fs_handle_error_async() to f2fs_handle_error()
- spread f2fs_handle_error()
