f2fs: fix to avoid racing on fsync_entry_slab by multi filesystem instances

As syzbot reported, there is an use-after-free issue during f2fs recovery:

Use-after-free write at 0xffff88823bc16040 (in kfence-#10):

kmem_cache_destroy+0x1f/0x120 mm/slab_common.c:486

do_syscall_64+0x3f/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:47

entry_SYSCALL_64_after_hwframe+0x44/0xae

The root cause is multi f2fs filesystem instances can race on accessing

global fsync_entry_slab pointer, result in use-after-free issue of slab

cache, fixes to init/destroy this slab cache only once during module

init/destroy procedure to avoid this issue.
