Policy - foreground GC, LFS mode and greedy GC mode.
Under this policy, f2fs_gc() loops forever to GC as it doesn't have
enough free segements to proceed and thus it keeps calling gc_more
for the same victim segment. This can happen if the selected victim
segment could not be GC'd due to failed blkaddr validity check i.e.
is_alive() returns false for the blocks set in current validity map.
Fix this by not resetting the sbi->cur_victim_sec to NULL_SEGNO, when
the segment selected could not be GC'd. This helps to select another
segment for GC and thus helps to proceed forward with GC.
