[PATCH] fs: Improve comment of inode_dio_begin

[Nikolay Borisov]

Firstly, the description of the function was a direct copy/paste of
inode_dio_end and as such made no sense. So rewrite it to correctly
state this is used before starting an io. Also document the locking
requirements, since currently one has to look at the definition of
inode_dio_wait to see the requirement of a lock being held while
bumping i_dio_count.
