Just add more commentaries. Also some commentary fixes for
lprops flags.

+ * Notes about dead watermark. At current UBIFS implementation we assume that
+ * LEBs which have less than @c->dead_wm bytes of free + dirty space are full
+ * and not worth garbage-collecting. The dead watermark is one min. I/O unit
+ * size, or min. UBIFS node size, depending on what is greater. Indeed, UBIFS
+ * Garbage Collector has to synchronize the GC head's write buffer before
+ * returning, so this is about wasting one min. I/O unit. However, UBIFS GC can
+ * actually reclaim even very small pieces of dirty space by garbage collecting
+ * enough dirty LEBs, but we do not bother doing this at this implementation.
+ *
+ * Notes about dark watermark. The results of GC work depends on how big are
+ * the UBIFS nodes GC deals with. Large nodes make GC waste more space. Indeed,
+ * if GC move data from LEB A to LEB B and nodes in LEB A are large, GC would
+ * have to waste large pieces of free space at the end of LEB B, because nodes
+ * from LEB A would not fit. And the worst situation is when all nodes are of
+ * maximum size. So dark watermark is the amount of free + dirty space in LEB
+ * which are guaranteed to be reclaimable. If LEB has less space, the GC migh
+ * be unable to reclaim it. So, LEBs with free + dirty greater than dark
+ * watermark are "good" LEBs from GC's point of few. The other LEBs are not so
+ * good, and GC takes extra care when moving them.
