Provide a kernel-doc comment documentation for the BQL helpers:
- netdev_sent_queue
- netdev_completed_queue
- netdev_reset_queue

Similarly to how it is done for the other functions, the documentation
only covers the function operating on struct net_device and not struct
netdev_queue.

Change since v1:
- incorporate suggestsions from Eric Dumazet and just specify the exact
  match for netdev_sent_queue/netdev_completed_queue
