f2fs: compress: don't overwrite populated compress cache entry
f2fs_cache_compressed_page() looks up the entry of blkaddr w/ f2fs_find_cache(), and then grabs it w/ f2fs_grab_cache() and F2FS_CACHE_LOCK_CREATE. If another reader populates the entry in between, f2fs_grab_cache() returns that uptodate entry, and we will overwrite its ino and data. Before the compress cache was converted to the generic cache, add_to_page_cache_lru() failed w/ -EEXIST in this case, and the existing page was left untouched. Normally, the racer is a reader of the same block of the same inode, so both copies are the same, let's just back off, as f2fs_ra_meta_caches() does. A block address can only be owned by one inode at a time, the block can not be freed and reused by another inode during population, since the reader holds the locks of the cluster's pagecache pages until decompression completes, and truncation must lock these pages before freeing blocks. So if the uptodate entry was cached by another inode, it's a bug, and one of the copies must be stale, let's report the bug, and drop the entry, then readers will load the block from disk.
