Qu Wenruo 0c89138970 btrfs: relocation: Add introduction of how relocation works
Relocation is one of the most complex part of btrfs, while it's also the
foundation stone for online resizing, profile converting.

For such a complex facility, we should at least have some introduction
to it.

This patch will add an basic introduction at pretty a high level,
explaining:

- What relocation does
- How relocation is done
  Only mentioning how data reloc tree and reloc tree are involved in the
  operation.
  No details like the backref cache, or the data reloc tree contents.
- Which function to refer.

More detailed comments will be added for reloc tree creation, data reloc
tree creation and backref cache.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
