jbd2: improve comments about freeing data buffers whose page mapping is NULL
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.

Fixes: c96dceeabf76 ("jbd2: do not clear the BH_Mapped flag when forgetting a metadata buffer")
