BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000014

RIP: 0010:f2fs_submit_page_write+0x6cf/0x780 [f2fs]

It is possible that other threads have added this fio to io->bio

and submitted the io->bio before entering f2fs_submit_page_write().

At this point io->bio = NULL.

If is_end_zone_blkaddr(sbi, fio->new_blkaddr) of this fio is true,

then an NULL pointer dereference error occurs at bio_get(io->bio).

The original code for determining zone end was after "out:",

which would have missed some fio who is zone end. I've moved

this code before "skip:" to make sure it's done for each fio.
