Sometimes, if there is some inconsistency that background fsck can not
fix properly, it would mark the file system as "can not fsck in
background".  On the next boot, a fsck -Fp would check it in foreground
and fix the problems.  Therefore, we have to do a "fsck -F -p" when
background fsck is enabled, if all file systems can be checked in
background then it is essentially a no-op.

Cheers,
