Need to document {,no}strict_fsync in f2fs.txt.

Otherwise, you can add:

[f2fs-dev] [PATCH] f2fs: introduce "strict_fsync" for posix standard fsync

2018-02-01 Thread Junling Zheng
Commit "0a007b97aad6"(f2fs: recover directory operations by fsync)
fixed xfstest generic/342 case, but it also increased the written
data and caused the performance degradation. In most cases, there's
no need to do so heavily fsync actually.

So we introduce a new mount option "strict_fsync" to control the
policy of fsync. It's set by default, and means that fsync follows
POSIX semantics. And "nostrict_fsync" means that the behaviour is
in line with xfs, ext4 and btrfs, on which generic/342 will be passed.
