[PATCH] xfsprogs: mkfs manpage -nsize/log

[Wengang Wang]

Sorry.
Send description of this patch.

There are two limitation for mkfs.xfs -nsize/log option:
1) directory block size must be a power of 2 size.
2) it can't be less than a file system block size.

Current man page don't include the above information. User could
be confused with errors, say "Illegal value xxx for -n size option", but
they can't find out the cause by checking the man page.

The patch adds the two limitations to the manpage.
