Previously, we will miss merging flush command during fsync due to below
race condition:

Thread A  Thread B Thread C
- f2fs_issue_flush
 - atomic_read(&issing_flush)
- f2fs_issue_flush
 - atomic_read(&issing_flush)
- f2fs_issue_flush
 - atomic_read(&issing_flush)
  - atomic_inc(&issing_flush)
  - atomic_inc(&issing_flush)
  - atomic_inc(&issing_flush)
   - submit_flush_wait
   - submit_flush_wait
   - submit_flush_wait

It needs to use atomic_inc_return instead to avoid such race.
