[Devel] [RFC][PATCH 07/11] file c/r: expose functions to query fs support

[Dave Hansen]

This pair of functions will check to see whether a given
'struct file' can be checkpointed.  If it can't be, the
"explain" function can also give a description why.

Note that we assume the presence of an f_op->checkpoint
implies that a file is always checkpointable.  That may
have to change in the future, but it is a fixed rule
for now.
