[PATCH v2 3/5] block: Add documentation for bio iterator macros

[Kent Overstreet]

We've now got 3x2 interfaces for iterating over bios: by page, by bvec,
or by folio, and variants that iterate over what bi_iter points to, or
the entire bio as created by the filesystem/originator.

This adds more detailed kerneldoc comments for each variant.
