bio_add_page() and __bio_add_page() are capable of adding pages into
bio, and now we have at least two such usages alreay:

	- __bio_iov_bvec_add_pages()
	- nvmet_bdev_execute_rw().

So update comments on these two helpers.

The thing is a bit special for __bio_try_merge_page(), given the caller
needs to know if the new added page is same with the last added page,
then it isn't safe to pass multi-page in case that 'same_page' is true,
so adds warning on potential misuse, and updates comment on
__bio_try_merge_page().

This is going to create a needless conflict between 5.1 and the 5.2
block tree. I haven't pushed the 5.2 tree out yet, plan to do so
this week after I've pushed the current 5.1 patches. Can you respin
this one on top of for-5.2/block when it comes out?

Can we also drop the parameter name rename and just add the comments?

Yeah, that might be better to avoid needless churn.

OK, I will drop the name rename change and send it out after for-5.2 comes out.
