Seems there is no problem.

After f2fs_evict_inode(ino),

f2fs_iget(ino)
- iget_failed() f2fs_create()
- f2fs_new_inode()
- ino = alloc_nid()
- insert_inode_locked()
*** spin_lock(&inode_hash_lock)
- spin_lock(&old->i_lock)
- __iget(old)
- make_bad_inode() - spin_unlock(&old->i_lock)
- remove_inode_hash() - spin_unlock(&inode_hash_lock)
- spin_lock(&inode_hash_lock) - wait_on_inode(old)
- spin_lock(&inode->i_lock)
- list_del
- spin_unlock(&inode->i_lock)
- spin_unlock(&inode_hash_lock)
- unlock_new_inode()
- wake_up_bit(&inode->i_state, __I_NEW) --> wake up!
- iput(old) whish was unhashed.
- goto to ***
- iput()

No, we should do gc for data blocks owned by *evicted* inodes as well.
