RIP: 0010:new_curseg+0xe8d/0x15f0

The root cause is: ckpt.valid_block_count is inconsistent with SIT table,
stat info indicates filesystem has free blocks, but SIT table indicates
filesystem has no free segment.

So that during garbage colloection, it triggers panic when LFS allocator
fails to find free segment.

This patch tries to fix this issue by checking consistency in between
ckpt.valid_block_count and block accounted from SIT.
