f2fs: add sysfs support for controlling the gc_thread
Add sysfs entries to control the timing parameters for f2fs gc thread. Various Sysfs options introduced are: gc_min_sleep_time: Min Sleep time for GC in ms gc_max_sleep_time: Max Sleep time for GC in ms gc_no_gc_sleep_time: Default Sleep time for GC in ms Cc: Gu Zheng <guz.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Namjae Jeon <namjae.jeon@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Pankaj Kumar <pankaj.km@samsung.com> Reviewed-by: Gu Zheng <guz.fnst@cn.fujitsu.com> [Jaegeuk Kim: fix an umount bug and some minor changes] Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
