f2fs: fix to avoid racing on fsync_entry_slab by multi filesystem instances

As syzbot reported, there is an use-after-free issue during f2fs recovery:

Use-after-free write at 0xffff88823bc16040 (in kfence-#10):

 do_syscall_64+0x3f/0xb0 arch/x86/entry/common.c:47

The root cause is multi f2fs filesystem instances can race on accessing
global fsync_entry_slab pointer, result in use-after-free issue of slab
cache, fixes to init/destroy this slab cache only once during module
init/destroy procedure to avoid this issue.
