nilfs2: make superblock data array index computation sparse friendly
[ Upstream commit 91d743a9c8299de1fc1b47428d8bb4c85face00f ]
Upon running sparse, "warning: dubious: x & !y" is output at an array
index calculation within nilfs_load_super_block().
The calculation is not wrong, but to eliminate the sparse warning, replace
it with an equivalent calculation.
Also, add a comment to make it easier to understand what the unintuitive
array index calculation is doing and whether it's correct.
