gfs2: Some documentation updates

The calc_reserved description claims that buf_limit is 502 (on 4k
filesystems), but it is actually 503.  Fix / clarify the entire
description.

* calc_reserved - Calculate the number of blocks to reserve when

* This is complex. We need to reserve room for all our currently used
* metadata buffers (e.g. normal file I/O rewriting file time stamps) and
* all our journaled data buffers for journaled files (e.g. files in the
* metadata blocks (e.g. normal file I/O rewriting file time stamps) and
* all our journaled data blocks for journaled files (e.g. files in the
* meta_fs like rindex, or files for which chattr +j was done.)
* If we don't reserve enough space, gfs2_log_refund and gfs2_log_flush
* will count it as free space (sd_log_blks_free) and corruption will follow.
* If we don't reserve enough space, corruption will follow.
*
* We can have metadata bufs and jdata bufs in the same journal. So each
* type gets its own log header, for which we need to reserve a block.
* In fact, each type has the potential for needing more than one header
* in cases where we have more buffers than will fit on a journal page.

* Metadata journal entries take up half the space of journaled buffer entries.
* Thus, metadata entries have buf_limit (502) and journaled buffers have
* databuf_limit (251) before they cause a wrap around.
*
* Also, we need to reserve blocks for revoke journal entries and one for an
* overall header for the lot.
