RIP: 0033:0x7f9dba5197ca
F2FS-fs (nullb0): Stopped filesystem due to reason: 4
The reason is f2fs_gc_range() may try to migrate block in curseg, however,
its SSA block is not uptodate due to the last summary block data is still
in cache of curseg.
In this patch, we add a condition in f2fs_gc_range() to check whether
section is opened or not, and skip block migration for opened section.
