f2fs: fix to avoid use-after-free issue in f2fs_filemap_fault

syzbot reports a f2fs bug as below:

BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in f2fs_filemap_fault+0xd1/0x2c0 fs/f2fs/file.c:49
Read of size 8 at addr ffff88807bb22680 by task syz-executor184/5058

The root cause is: in f2fs_filemap_fault(), vmf->vma may be not alive after
filemap_fault(), so it may cause use-after-free issue when accessing
vmf->vma->vm_flags in trace_f2fs_filemap_fault(). So it needs to keep vm_flags
in separated temporary variable for tracepoint use.
