Leah Rumancik fd7b23be92 ext4: update journal documentation
Add a section about journal checkpointing, including information about
the ioctl EXT4_IOC_CHECKPOINT which can be used to trigger a journal
checkpoint from userspace.

Also, update the journal allocation information to reflect that up to
10240000 blocks are used for the journal and that the journal is not
necessarily contiguous.

Changes in v5:
- clarify behavior of DRY_RUN flag

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
