In commit 6a3afb6ac6df ("jbd2: increase the journal IO's priority"), the priority of IOs initiated by jbd2 has been raised, exempting them from WBT throttling. Checkpoint is also a crucial operation of jbd2. While no serious issues have been observed so far, it should still be reasonable to exempt checkpoint from WBT throttling.
