Improve DiskChecker javadocs
----------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-7855
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7855
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: util
            Reporter: Eli Collins
             Fix For: 0.24.0


The javadocs for DiskChecker#checkDir(File dir) trail off, look like they 
weren't completed, should be. 

While checkDir(File) uses java File to check if a dir actually is writable, the 
version of checkDir that takes an FsPermission uses FsAction#implies which 
doesn't actually check if a dir is writable (eg it passes on a read-only file 
system). So switching from one version to the other can cause unexpected bugs. 
Let's call this out explicitly in the javadocs.
