This one is optional.

Saying deprecated for a paramter to function with just a few callers
feels weird.  For this patch I'd just stick to a functional description.

As far as I can tell need_raid_map just creates extra overhead when
used on a paritty RAID BG, but is othr wise harmless and only
btrfsic_map_block clears it to 0.  Maybe add a follow on patch to just
remove the paramter and waste the little bit of extra effort to build
the raid map for btrfsic_map_block?
