[PATCH 1/1 linux-next] ext4: fix journal data documentation regarding O_DIRECT

[Fabian Frederick]

O_DIRECT is declared disabled in data=journal mode but still served
as buffered-IO when one would expect such operations to be canceled.
This patch clarifies documentation and removes redundancy.

Thanks to Theodore Ts'o for explanations.
