block: clarify that bio_add_page() and related helpers can add multi pages
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().
