f2fs: fix to migrate all curseg types during free_segment_range

In free_segment_range(), the curseg evacuation loop only iterates up to
NR_CURSEG_PERSIST_TYPE (0..5), missing non-persistent in-memory curseg
types such as CURSEG_COLD_DATA_PINNED and CURSEG_ALL_DATA_ATGC.

Even though these in-memory curseg types are not saved in the on-disk
checkpoint header, they still occupy active physical segments at runtime.
If an active in-memory curseg happens to be allocated within the segment
range being truncated during filesystem shrink, failing to evacuate it
will cause subsequent writes to the curseg attempting out-of-bounds I/O
on the truncated storage range.

Fix this by expanding the curseg evacuation loop upper bound to
NR_CURSEG_TYPE to ensure all active curseg types are safely migrated
out of the target range.
