Oh, "noxxx" option was added only when we set the option by default in
default_options(), when user want to disable the default option, it
needs to use "noxxx" option, and then we will show this "noxxx" option
string to user via show_options() to indicate that "noxxx" option is
working now.
Anyway I think we should fix to show "noflush_merge" option because we
have set flush_merge by default.
Do you think we need that for both, "noflush_merge" and "nocheckpoint_merge"?
For "nocheckpoint_merge", we can introduce this option only when we want
to set "checkpoint_merge" by default.
Here is the example from noinline_data:
Commit 75342797988 ("f2fs: enable inline data by default")
Thanks,
I thought we needed to give some time to make this be turned on by
default. It might be a little radical. :)
What do you think?

As checkpoint=merge comes in, mount option setting related to checkpoint
had been mixed up and it became hard to understand. So, I separated
this option from "checkpoint=" and made another mount option
"checkpoint_merge" for this.
