[PATCH v4 01/10] block: simplify comment to BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING

[Vladimir Sementsov-Ogievskiy]

1. BDRV_REQ_NO_SERIALISING doesn't exist already, don't mention it.

2. We are going to add one more user of BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING, so
   comment about backup becomes a bit confusing here. The use case in
   backup is documented in block/backup.c, so let's just drop
   duplication here.

3. The fact that BDRV_REQ_SERIALISING is only for write requests is
   omitted. Add a note.
