Hi folks,

I've updated the lock documentation according to our finding for
transaction_t.
Does this patch look good to you?

I updated the annotations to match with the local usage, e.g:

	 * When commit was requested [journal_t.j_state_lock]

became:

	 * When commit was requested [j_state_lock]What do you mean by local usage?

The annotations of other members of transaction_t?

Yes, I'd like the annotations of the other objects to be consistent,
and just use j_state_lock, j_list_lock, etc., for the other annotations.

Shouldn't the annotation look like this?
[t_journal->j_state_lock]
It would be more precise.

It's more precise, but it's also unnecessary in this case, since all
of the elements of the journal have a j_ prefix, elements of a
transaction_t have a t_ prefix, etc.  There is also no other structure
element which has a j_state_lock name *other* than in journal_t.

Cheers,
