In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

f2fs: fix to drop meta_inode's page cache in f2fs_put_super()

syzbot reports a kernel bug as below:

F2FS-fs (loop1): detect filesystem reference count leak during umount, type: 10, count: 1
kernel BUG at fs/f2fs/super.c:1639!
CPU: 0 PID: 15451 Comm: syz-executor.1 Not tainted 6.5.0-syzkaller-09338-ge0152e7481c6 #0

In f2fs_put_super(), it tries to do sanity check on dirty and IO
reference count of f2fs, once there is any reference count leak,
it will trigger panic.

The root case is, during f2fs_put_super(), if there is any IO error
in f2fs_wait_on_all_pages(), we missed to truncate meta_inode's page
cache later, result in panic, fix this case.
