f2fs: fix race condition in between free nid allocator/initializer

commit 30a61ddf8117c26ac5b295e1233eaa9629a94ca3 upstream.

In below concurrent case, allocated nid can be loaded into free nid cache
and be allocated again.

This patch makes nat cache lookup and free nid list operation being atomical
to avoid this race condition.
