f2fs: cover global locks for reserve_new_block

Browse Source 
The fill_zero() from fallocate() calls get_new_data_page() in which calls
reserve_new_block().
The reserve_new_block() should be covered by *DATA_NEW*, one of global locks.
And also, before getting the lock, we should check free sections by calling
f2fs_balance_fs().

If we break this rule, f2fs is able to face with out-of-control free space
management and fall into infinite loop like the following scenario as well.

[f2fs_sync_fs()]             [fallocate()]
 - write_checkpoint()        - fill_zero()
  - block_operations()        - get_new_data_page()
   : grab NODE_NEW             - get_dnode_of_data()
                                : get locked dirty node page
    - sync_node_pages()
                                : try to grab NODE_NEW for data allocation
     : trylock and skip the dirty node page
   : call sync_node_pages() repeatedly in order to flush all the dirty node
     pages!

In order to avoid this, we should grab another global lock such as DATA_NEW
before calling get_new_data_page() in fill_zero().
