f2fs: add an sysfs entry to control the directory level
This patch adds an sysfs entry to control dir_level used by the large directory. The description of this entry is: dir_level This parameter controls the directory level to support large directory. If a directory has a number of files, it can reduce the file lookup latency by increasing this dir_level value. Otherwise, it needs to decrease this value to reduce the space overhead. The default value is 0. Signed-off-by: Jaegeuk Kim <jaegeuk.kim@samsung.com>
