[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: use ioprio hint for hot and pinned files

There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH 2/2] f2fs: use ioprio hint for hot and pinned files
Posted by Daniel Lee 4 months ago 
Apply the `ioprio_hint` to set `F2FS_IOPRIO_WRITE` priority
on files identified as "hot" at creation and on files that are
pinned via ioctl.

We don't need to mark inode dirty? IIRC, .ioprio_hint is just in-memory variable?
