Subject: [PATCH] dm io: Drop the obsolete and incorrect doc for dm_io()

Commit 7eaceaccab5f ("block: remove per-queue plugging") dropped
unplug_delay() and blk_unplug(). And the current code has no
fundamental difference between sync_io() and async_io() except
sync_io() uses sync_io_complete() as the notify.fn and explicitly
calls wait_for_completion_io() to sync. The comment isn't valid
any more.
