btrfs: add comments for btrfs_map_block()

The function btrfs_map_block() is a critical part of the btrfs storage
layer, which handles mapping of logical ranges to physical ranges.

Thus it's better to have some basic explanation, especially on the
following points:

- Segment split by various boundaries
  As a continuous logical range may be split into different segments,
  due to various factors like zones and RAID0/5/6/10 boundaries.

- The meaning of @mirror_num

- The possible single stripe optimization

- One deprecated parameter @need_raid_map
  Just explicitly mark it deprecated so we're aware of the problem.

/*
* Map one logical range to one or more physical ranges.
*
* @length: (Mandatory) mapped length of this run.
* One logical range can be split into different segments
* due to factors like zones and RAID0/5/6/10 stripe
* boundaries.
*
* @bioc_ret: (Mandatory) returned btrfs_io_context structure.
* which has one or more physical ranges (btrfs_io_stripe)
* recorded inside.
* Caller should call btrfs_put_bioc() to free it after use.
*
* @smap: (Optional) single physical range optimization.
* If the map request can be fulfilled by one single
* physical range, and this is parameter is not NULL,
* then @bioc_ret would be NULL, and @smap would be
* updated.
*
* @mirror_num_ret: (Mandatory) returned mirror number if the original
* value is 0.
*
* Mirror number 0 means to choose any live mirrors.
*
* For non-RAID56 profiles, non-zero mirror_num means
* the Nth mirror. (e.g. mirror_num 1 means the first
* copy).
*
* For RAID56 profile, mirror 1 means rebuild from P and
* the remaining data stripes.
*
* For RAID6 profile, mirror > 2 means mark another
* data/P stripe error and rebuild from the remaining
* stripes..
*
* @need_raid_map: (Used only for integrity checker) whether the map wants
* a full stripe map (including all data and P/Q stripes)
* for RAID56. Should always be 1 except integrity checker.
