f2fs: fix to clear FI_VOLATILE_FILE correctly



Thread A			Thread B
- f2fs_release_file
 - clear_inode_flag(FI_VOLATILE_FILE)
				- wb_writeback
				 - writeback_sb_inodes
				  - __writeback_single_inode
				   - do_writepages
				    - f2fs_write_data_pages
				     - __write_data_page
				     all volatile file's pages
				     are writebacked to storage
 - set_inode_flag(FI_DROP_CACHE)
 - filemap_fdatawrite

There is a hole that mm can flush all dirty pages of volatile file as
inode is not tagged with both FI_VOLATILE_FILE and FI_DROP_CACHE flags,
we should never writeback the page #0 and also it's unneeded to writeback
other pages.

This patch adjusts to relocate clear_inode_flag(FI_VOLATILE_FILE), so that
FI_VOLATILE_FILE flag can be remained before all dirty pages were dropped
to avoid issue.
