Hanna Reitz 5a1cfd2150 block: Clarify that @bytes is no limit on *pnum
.bdrv_co_block_status() implementations are free to return a *pnum that
exceeds @bytes, because bdrv_co_block_status() in block/io.c will clamp
*pnum as necessary.

On the other hand, if drivers' implementations return values for *pnum
that are as large as possible, our recently introduced block-status
cache will become more effective.

So, make a note in block_int.h that @bytes is no upper limit for *pnum.
