[PATCH] f2fs: support cold file defragementation

[Daejun Park]

F2FS_IOC_DEFRAGMENT performs defragmentation of a file. In
f2fs_defragment_range(), it checks whether in-place update policy is
applied, for avoiding unnecessary write operations.
The cold file may be fragmented according to the write order. However,
in the case of a cold file, the in-place update policy is applied, so it
is can not be defragmented.
This patch temporarily clears the cold bit so that the file can be
defragmented.
