Please update the documentation in the comment 'Device locking' in
volumes.c

Right the only thing that is missing from the Device Locking comment is
the mention of post_commit_list. However, dev_list and dev_alloc_list
are essentially "the other side" of btrfs_fs_devices::alloc_list  hence
I've added them as inline comments. I think it makes more sense to those
small comments next to the variables at least as a remainder.
