xfs: clarify documentation for the function to reverify buffers

Improve the documentation around xfs_buf_ensure_ops, which is the
function that is responsible for cleaning up the b_ops state of buffers
that go through xrep_findroot_block but don't match anything.  Rename
the function to xfs_buf_reverify.

[darrick: this started off as bfoster mods of a previous patch of mine,
but the renaming part is now this separate patch.]

* Set buffer ops on an unchecked buffer and validate it, if possible.
* Reverify a buffer found in cache without an attached ->b_ops.
*
* If the caller passed in an ops structure and the buffer doesn't have ops
* assigned, set the ops and use them to verify the contents. If the contents
* cannot be verified, we'll clear XBF_DONE. We assume the buffer has no
* recorded errors and is already in XBF_DONE state.
* If the caller passed an ops structure and the buffer doesn't have ops
* assigned, set the ops and use it to verify the contents. If verification
* fails, clear XBF_DONE. We assume the buffer has no recorded errors and is
* already in XBF_DONE state on entry.
*
* Under normal operations, every in-core buffer must have buffer ops assigned
* to them when the buffer is read in from disk so that we can validate the
* metadata.
*
* However, there are two scenarios where one can encounter in-core buffers
* that don't have buffer ops. The first is during log recovery of buffers on
* a V4 filesystem, though these buffers are purged at the end of recovery.
*
* The other is online repair, which tries to match arbitrary metadata blocks
* with btree types in order to find the root. If online repair doesn't match
* the buffer with /any/ btree type, the buffer remains in memory in DONE state
* with no ops, and a subsequent read_buf call from elsewhere will not set the
* ops. This function helps us fix this situation.
* Under normal operations, every in-core buffer is verified on read I/O
* completion. There are two scenarios that can lead to in-core buffers without
* an assigned ->b_ops. The first is during log recovery of buffers on a V4
* filesystem, though these buffers are purged at the end of recovery. The
* other is online repair, which intentionally reads with a NULL buffer ops to
* run several verifiers across an in-core buffer in order to establish buffer
* type. If repair can't establish that, the buffer will be left in memory
* with NULL buffer ops.
