Subject: dma-resv: some doc polish for iterators
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Git-commit: d80976d9ffd9d7f89a26134a299b236910477f3b
Patch-mainline: v5.18-rc1
References: jsc#PED-1166 jsc#PED-1168 jsc#PED-1170 jsc#PED-1218 jsc#PED-1220 jsc#PED-1222 jsc#PED-1223 jsc#PED-1225

Hammer it a bit more in that iterators can be restarted and when that
matters, plus suggest to prefer the locked version whenver.

Also delete the two leftover kerneldoc for static functions plus
sprinkle some more links while at it.

v2: Keep some comments (Christian)
