[GIT PULL 13/21] lightnvm: pblk: add comments wrt locking in recovery path

[Matias Bjørling <mb@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Javier González <javier@xxxxxxxxxxx>

pblk's recovery path is single threaded and therefore a number of
assumptions regarding concurrency can be made. To avoid confusion, make
this explicit with a couple of comments in the code.
