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.
