Subject: [PATCH -mm 3/5] nilfs2: mark minor flag for checkpoint created by internal operation

Nilfs creates checkpoints even for garbage collection or metadata
updates such as checkpoint mode change.  So, user often sees
checkpoints created only by such internal operations.

This is inconvenient in some situations.  For example, application
that monitors checkpoints and changes them to snapshots, will fall
into an infinite loop because it cannot distinguish internally created
checkpoints.

This patch solves this sort of problem by adding a flag to checkpoint
for identification.
