ocfs2: update comments in masklog.h

In the mainline ocfs2 code, the interface for masklog is in files under
/sys/fs/o2cb/masklog, but the comments in fs/ocfs2/cluster/masklog.h
reference the old /proc interface.  They are out of date.

This patch modifies the comments in cluster/masklog.h, which also provides
a bash script example on how to change the log mask bits.

* All this bitmask nonsense is hidden from the /proc interface so that Joel
* doesn't have an aneurism. Reading the file gives a straight forward
* indication of which bits are on or off:
* ENTRY off
* EXIT off
* All this bitmask nonsense is managed from the files under
* /sys/fs/o2cb/logmask/. Reading the files gives a straightforward
* indication of which bits are allowed (allow) or denied (off/deny).
* ENTRY deny
* EXIT deny
* TCP off
* MSG off
* SOCKET off
* ERROR off
* NOTICE on
* ERROR allow
* NOTICE allow
*
* Writing changes the state of a given bit and requires a strictly formatted
* single write() call:
*
* write(fd, "ENTRY on", 8);
* write(fd, "allow", 5);
*
* would turn the entry bit on. "1" is also accepted in the place of "on", and
* "off" and "0" behave as expected.
* Echoing allow/deny/off string into the logmask files can flip the bits
* on or off as expected; here is the bash script for example:
*
* Some trivial shell can flip all the bits on or off:
* log_mask="/sys/fs/o2cb/log_mask"
* for node in ENTRY EXIT TCP MSG SOCKET ERROR NOTICE; do
* echo allow >"$log_mask"/"$node"
* done
*
* log_mask="/proc/fs/ocfs2_nodemanager/log_mask"
* cat $log_mask | (
* while read bit status; do
* # $1 is "on" or "off", say
* echo "$bit $1" > $log_mask
* done
* )
* The debugfs.ocfs2 tool can also flip the bits with the -l option:
*
* debugfs.ocfs2 -l TCP allow
