fs: dlm: update comments about recovery and membership handling
Make clear that a particular recovery iteration must not be aborted before membership changes are applied to the members list (ls_nodes) and midcomms layer. Interrupting recovery before this can result in missing node-specific changes in midcomms or through lsops.
