firewire: cdev: some clarifications to the API documentation

Response events:
  - are generated on more occasions than their documentation claimed.

CSR allocation:
  - An already occupied CSR can be determined from errno==EBUSY.

Bus resets:
  - Note that FW_CDEV_IOC_INITIATE_BUS_RESET is nonblocking and that the
    client is not required to observe a grace period since kernels
    2.6.36+ will enforce it now (commit 02d37be).

  - The possible values of fw_cdev_initiate_bus_reset.type are listed in
    the kerneldoc comment already.

  - Clarify that an application that uses FW_CDEV_IOC_ADD_DESCRIPTOR and
    FW_CDEV_IOC_REMOVE_DESCRIPTOR does not have to issue a bus reset.

Isochronous I/O contexts:
  - At most one can be created per open file descriptor.
