btrfs: add comment about list_is_singular() use at btrfs_delete_unused_bgs()
At btrfs_delete_unused_bgs(), the use of the list_is_singular() check on
a block group may not be immediately obvious. It is there to prevent
losing raid profile information for a block group type (data, metadata or
system), as that information is removed from
fs_info->avail_[data|metadata|system]_alloc_bits when the last block group
of a given type is deleted. So deleting the block group would later result
in creating block groups of that type with a single profile (because
fs_info->avail_*_alloc_bits would have a value of 0).
This check was added in commit aefbe9a633b5 ("btrfs: Fix lost-data-profile
caused by auto removing bg").
So add a comment mentioning the need for the check.
