Subject[PATCH 6/7] block: Add documentation for bio iterator macros
Date
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.
