nilfs2: add barrier mount option

Nilfs enables write barriers by default and has "nobarrier" mount
option to disable this feature.  But it lacks the complementary option
and has no way to re-enable the feature on remount.

This adds "barrier" option to resolve this imbalance.

 NILFS2 supports the following mount options:
 (*) == default
 
-nobarrier               Disables barriers.
+barrier(*)              This enables/disables the use of write barriers.  This
+nobarrier               requires an IO stack which can support barriers, and
+                        if nilfs gets an error on a barrier write, it will
+                        disable again with a warning.
 errors=continue         Keep going on a filesystem error.
 errors=remount-ro(*)    Remount the filesystem read-only on an error.
 errors=panic            Panic and halt the machine if an error occurs.
