iomap: better document the IOMAP_F_* flags



The documentation for IOMAP_F_* is a bit disorganized, and doesn't
mention the fact that most flags are set by the file system and consumed
by the iomap core, while IOMAP_F_SIZE_CHANGED is set by the core and
consumed by the file system.

 * Flags for all iomap mappings:
 * Flags reported by the file system from iomap_begin:
 *
 * IOMAP_F_NEW indicates that the blocks have been newly allocated and need
 * zeroing for areas that no data is copied to.
 *
 * IOMAP_F_DIRTY indicates the inode has uncommitted metadata needed to access
 * written data and requires fdatasync to commit them to persistent storage.
 * This needs to take into account metadata changes that *may* be made at IO
 * completion, such as file size updates from direct IO.
 *
 * IOMAP_F_SHARED indicates that the blocks are shared, and will need to be
 * unshared as part a write.
 *
 * IOMAP_F_MERGED indicates that the iomap contains the merge of multiple block
 * mappings.
 *
 * IOMAP_F_BUFFER_HEAD indicates that the file system requires the use of
 * buffer heads for this mapping.
