bio: improve kerneldoc documentation for bio_alloc_kiocb()

Browse Source 
We're missing a description for the 'nr_vecs' parameter. While in there,
clarify that freeing a bio allocated through this function must be done
from process context.

Fixes: 1cbbd31c4ada ("bio: add allocation cache abstraction")
