[PATCH v2] block: update docs for bio and bvec_iter

[Andreas Hindborg <a.hindborg@kernel.org>]

The documentation for bio and bvec_iter refers to a vector named bvl_vec.
This does not exist. Update the documentation comment with correct use.

Also update documentation comments for remaining fields of `bvec_iter` to
improve readability.

The fields of `bvec_iter` is using a mix of tabs and spaces for
indentation. While at it, change them all to tabs, which is most prevalent
in this struct definition.

Changes in v2:
- Update documentation changes with input from Christoph.
- Change indentation of `bvec_iter`.
- Link to v1: https://msgid.link/20260212-bvec_iter-docs-v1-1-888607db0ddc@kernel.org
