btrfs: add function comment for check_committed_ref()
There are some not immediately obvious details about the operation of
check_committed_ref(), namely that when it returns 0 it must return with
the path having a locked leaf from the extent tree that contains the
extent's extent item, so that we can later check for delayed refs when
calling check_delayed_ref() in a way that doesn't race with a task running
delayed references. For similar reasons, it must also return with a locked
leaf when the extent item is not found, and that leaf is where the extent
item should be located, because we may have delayed references that are
going to create the extent item. Also document that the function can
return false positives in order to not be too slow, and that the most
important is to not return false negatives.
So add a function comment to check_committed_ref().
