Without this patch, file can be persisted via checkpoint=enable as well, my
testcase:

- mount -t f2fs -o checkpoint=disable,checkpoint_nomerge /dev/pmem0 /mnt/f2fs/
- cp file /mnt/f2fs/
- xfs_io /mnt/f2fs/file -c "fdatasync"
- mount -o remount,checkpoint=enable /dev/pmem0 /mnt/f2fs/
- umount /mnt/f2fs
- mount /dev/pmem0 /mnt/f2fs
- md5sum file /mnt/f2fs/file
chksum values are the same.

Am I missing something?

Thanks,
