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 They are out of date.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.

* Writing changes the state of a given bit and requires a strictly formatted

*
- * 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"
