jbd2: improve comments about freeing data buffers whose page mapping is NULL
commit 780f66e59231fcf882f36c63f287252ee47cc75a upstream. Improve comments in jbd2_journal_commit_transaction() to describe why we don't need to clear the buffer_mapped bit for freeing file mapping buffers whose page mapping is NULL.
