sysfs: Comment sysfs directory tagging logic
Add some in-line comments to explain the new infrastructure, which
was introduced to support sysfs directory tagging with namespaces.
I think an overall description someplace might be good too, but it
didn't really seem to fit into Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt,
which appears more geared toward users, rather than maintainers, of
sysfs.
(Tejun, please let me know if I can make anything clearer or failed
altogether to comment something that should be commented.)
