[media] vb2: fix videobuf2-core.h comments

A lot of work was done in vb2 to regulate how drivers and the vb2 core handle
buffer ownership, but inexplicably the videobuf2-core.h comments were never
updated. Do so now. The same was true for the replacement of the -ENOBUFS
mechanism by the min_buffers_needed field.
