i2c: Kerneldoc for most I/O calls

Provide kerneldoc for most of the I2C and SMBus I/O calls.  Add a
comment summarizing some fault reporting issues which affect the
ability to provide clean fault reports through I2C master transfer
calls.  (Making it hard to precisely specify their return values...)
