H A Drelocation.c0c891389 Wed Jan 15 23:04:07 CST 2020 Qu Wenruo <wqu@suse.com> btrfs: relocation: Add introduction of how relocation works

Relocation is one of the most complex part of btrfs, while it's also the
foundation stone for online resizing, profile converting.

For such a complex facility, we should at least have some introduction
to it.

This patch will add an basic introduction at pretty a high level,
explaining:

- What relocation does
- How relocation is done
Only mentioning how data reloc tree and reloc tree are involved in the
operation.
No details like the backref cache, or the data reloc tree contents.
- Which function to refer.

More detailed comments will be added for reloc tree creation, data reloc
tree creation and backref cache.
