ocfs2: add feature document for online file check
This document will describe OCFS2 online file check feature. OCFS2 is often used in high-availaibility systems. However, OCFS2 usually converts the filesystem to read-only when encounters an error. This may not be necessary, since turning the filesystem read-only would affect other running processes as well, decreasing availability. Then, a mount option (errors=continue) is introduced, which would return the -EIO errno to the calling process and terminate furhter processing so that the filesystem is not corrupted further. The filesystem is not converted to read-only, and the problematic file's inode number is reported in the kernel log. The user can try to check/fix this file via online filecheck feature.
