Never mind, I saw your other patch which makes it a string. Actually, we don't
need a string here as all the invocations (currently) are from ro strings like
below 

trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint(sbi->sb, cpc->reason, "start block_ops");
trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint(sbi->sb, cpc->reason, "finish block_ops");
trace_f2fs_write_checkpoint(sbi->sb, cpc->reason, "finish checkpoint");

Thanks,
