Commit da554e48caab ("f2fs: recovering broken superblock during mount") changed the behaviour to read both of them and check whether need the recovery flag or not. So the comment before this function isn't consistent with what it actually does. Also, the origin code use two tags to round the err cases, which isn't so readable. So this patch amend the comment and slightly reorganize it.
