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.

v2: renamed "checkpoint=merge" to "checkpoint_merge"
v3: removed "nocheckpoint_merge" option
v4: re-added "nocheckpoint_merge" option to make it possible to disable
just only "checkpoint_merge" when remount
v5: added the description about "nocheckpoint_merge" in rst and added it
in show_options

Looks good to me, IMO, this patch should be merged into original patch.
Thanks,
