ext4: documentation fixes
This commit aims to fix the following issues in ext4 documentation: - Flexible block group docs said that the aim was to group block metadata together instead of block group metadata. - The documentation consistly uses "location" instead of "block number". It is easy to confuse location to be an absolute offset on disk. Added a line to clarify all location values are in terms of block numbers. - Dirent2 docs said that the rec_len field is shortened instead of the name_len field. - Typo in bg_checksum description. - Inode size is 160 bytes now, and hence i_extra_isize is now 32. - Cluster size formula was incorrect, it did not include the +10 to s_log_cluster_size value. - Typo: there were two s_wtime_hi in the superblock struct. - Superblock struct was outdated, added the new fields which were part of s_reserved earlier. - Multiple mount protection seems to be implemented in fs/ext4/mmp.c.
