f2fs: give a chance to merge IOs by IO scheduler
Previously, background GC submits many 4KB read requests to load victim blocks
and/or its (i)node blocks.
...
f2fs_gc : f2fs_readpage: ino = 1, page_index = 0xb61, blkaddr = 0x3b964ed
f2fs_gc : block_rq_complete: 8,16 R () 499854968 + 8 [0]
f2fs_gc : f2fs_readpage: ino = 1, page_index = 0xb6f, blkaddr = 0x3b964ee
f2fs_gc : block_rq_complete: 8,16 R () 499854976 + 8 [0]
f2fs_gc : f2fs_readpage: ino = 1, page_index = 0xb79, blkaddr = 0x3b964ef
f2fs_gc : block_rq_complete: 8,16 R () 499854984 + 8 [0]
...
However, by the fact that many IOs are sequential, we can give a chance to merge
the IOs by IO scheduler.
In order to do that, let's use blk_plug.
...
f2fs_gc : f2fs_iget: ino = 143
f2fs_gc : f2fs_readpage: ino = 143, page_index = 0x1c6, blkaddr = 0x2e6ee
f2fs_gc : f2fs_iget: ino = 143
f2fs_gc : f2fs_readpage: ino = 143, page_index = 0x1c7, blkaddr = 0x2e6ef

...
Note that this issue should be addressed in checkpoint, and some readahead
flows too.
