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.

For reference, added in commit 2e3c2513 ("btrfs: extent_io: add
proper error handling to lock_extent_buffer_for_io()")
