  You are looking at the wrong man page.  Check this commit:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=utils/util-linux-ng/util-linux-ng.git;a=commit;h=dd0bd943f94392d165c5903e271c966afb0d7b75
for proper one.

  In short, -l allow systemd to start fsck for every filesystem
on device in the same time and prevents them stepping on each
other's toes.
