btrfs: fix the comment on lock_extent_buffer_for_io
The return value of that function is completely wrong. That function only returns 0 if the extent buffer doesn't need to be submitted. The "ret = 1" and "ret = 0" are determined by the return value of "test_and_clear_bit(EXTENT_BUFFER_DIRTY, &eb->bflags)". And if we get ret == 1, it's because the extent buffer is dirty, and we set its status to EXTENT_BUFFER_WRITE_BACK, and continue to page locking. While if we get ret == 0, it means the extent is not dirty from the beginning, so we don't need to write it back. The caller also follows this, in btree_write_cache_pages(), if lock_extent_buffer_for_io() returns 0, we just skip the extent buffer completely. So the comment is completely wrong. Since we're here, also change the description a little. The write bio flushing won't be visible to the caller, thus it's not an major feature. In the main description, only describe the locking part to make the point more clear.
