nilfs2: fix regression that i-flag is not set on changeless checkpoints
According to the report from Jiro SEKIBA titled "regression in 2.6.37?" (Message-Id: <8739n8vs1f.wl%jir@sekiba.com>), on 2.6.37 and later kernels, lscp command no longer displays "i" flag on checkpoints that snapshot operations or garbage collection created. This is a regression of nilfs2 checkpointing function, and it's critical since it broke behavior of a part of nilfs2 applications. For instance, snapshot manager of TimeBrowse gets to create meaningless snapshots continuously; snapshot creation triggers another checkpoint, but applications cannot distinguish whether the new checkpoint contains meaningful changes or not without the i-flag. This patch fixes the regression and brings that application behavior back to normal.
