F2FS uses a checkpoint mechanism for metadata consistency rather than a
traditional journal. Roll-forward recovery is only needed if there are
fsync'd files since the last checkpoint.
In this test case, files are created without fsync, so there is no
roll-forward data to replay during mount.
Therefore, F2FS does not need to write to the device to recover, and
successfully mounts on the read-only block device. Thus, it should be
treated as nojournal in this case.
