f2fs: combine nat_bits and free_nid_bitmap cache

Both nat_bits cache and free_nid_bitmap cache provide same functionality
as a intermediate cache between free nid cache and disk, but with
different granularity of indicating free nid range, and different
persistence policy. nat_bits cache provides better persistence ability,
and free_nid_bitmap provides better granularity.

In this patch we combine advantage of both caches, so finally policy of
the intermediate cache would be:
- init: load free nid status from nat_bits into free_nid_bitmap
- lookup: scan free_nid_bitmap before load NAT blocks
- update: update free_nid_bitmap in real-time
- persistence: udpate and persist nat_bits in checkpoint

This patch also resolves performance regression reported by lkp-robot.
