f2fs: remove the blk_plug usage in f2fs_write_data_pages

Let's consider the usage of blk_plug in f2fs_write_data_pages().
We can come up with the two issues: lock contention and task awareness.

1. Merging bios prior to grabing "queue lock"
 The f2fs merges consecutive IOs in the file system level before
 submitting any bios, which is similar with the back merge by the
 plugging mechanism in attempt_plug_merge(). Both of them need to acquire
 no queue lock.

2. Merging policy with respect to tasks
 The f2fs merges IOs as much as possible regardless of tasks, while
 blk-plugging is conducted on a basis of tasks. As we can understand
 there are trade-offs, f2fs tries to maximize the write performance with
 well-merged bios.

As a result, if f2fs produces many consecutive but separated bios in
writepages(), it would be good to use blk-plugging since f2fs would be
able to avoid queue lock contention in the block layer by merging them.
But, f2fs merges IOs and submit one bio, which means that there are not
much chances to merge bios by attempt_plug_merge().

However, f2fs has already been used blk_plug by triggering generic_writepages()
in f2fs_write_data_pages().
So to make the overall code consistency, I'd like to remove blk_plug there.
