f2fs: fix lock dependency in between dio_rwsem & i_mmap_sem

test/generic/208 reports a potential deadlock as below:

Chain exists of:
  &mm->mmap_sem --> &fi->i_mmap_sem --> &fi->dio_rwsem[WRITE]

 Possible unsafe locking scenario:

       CPU0                    CPU1
       ----                    ----
  lock(&fi->dio_rwsem[WRITE]);
                               lock(&fi->i_mmap_sem);
                               lock(&fi->dio_rwsem[WRITE]);
  lock(&mm->mmap_sem);

This patch changes the lock dependency as below in fallocate() to
fix this issue:
- dio_rwsem
 - i_mmap_sem
