As "mmp_check_interval = 2 * mmp_update_interval", 'diff' always little
than 'mmp_update_interval', so there will never trigger detection.
Introduce last_check_time record previous check time.

I think the check is there only for the case where write_mmp_block() +
sleep took longer than mmp_check_interval. I agree that should rarely
happen but on a really busy system it is possible and in that case we would
miss updating mmp block for too long and so another node could have started
using the filesystem. I actually don't see a reason why kmmpd should be
checking the block each mmp_check_interval as you do - mmp_check_interval
is just for ext4_multi_mount_protect() to know how long it should wait
before considering mmp block stale... Am I missing something?

I'm sorry, I didn't understand the detection mechanism here before. Now I understand
the detection mechanism here.
As you said, it's just an abnormal protection. There's really no problem.
