The ext2/ext3 filesystems supported "check=none" and "nocheck" as mount options even though that was already the default behavior and it essentially did nothing. When using ext4 to mount ext2/ext3 filesystems, that mount option causes the mount to fail. That isn't as backward compatible as it could be, so add support to ext4 to accept the option.
