[PATCH] jbd2: document the h_invalid handle flag

[PATCH] jbd2: document the h_invalid handle flag

[Amit Patole]

Commit 61e2a90a910c ("ext4: enable scoped NOFS when starting a handle
in nojournal mode") added the h_invalid bit to struct
jbd2_journal_handle but did not add it to the kernel-doc comment above
the structure, so kernel-doc now warns:

  include/linux/jbd2.h:523 struct member 'h_invalid' not described in
  'jbd2_journal_handle'

Describe the new flag. It is set by ext4_get_nojournal() on a handle
that is not attached to any journal and is tested by
ext4_handle_valid().

The warning was found by running scripts/kernel-doc over the headers
pulled into the htmldocs build. An AI coding assistant (Claude Opus
5.5) was used to locate the warning and draft this change; it was
verified with scripts/kernel-doc (no warnings left) and checkpatch.
