[Qemu-block] [PULL 11/32] blockjob: Update description of the 'device' field in the QMP API

[Kevin Wolf]

From: Alberto Garcia <address@hidden>

The 'device' field in all BLOCK_JOB_* events and 'block-job-*' command
is no longer the device name, but the ID of the job. This patch
updates the documentation to clarify that.
