res_counter: update documentation 

After the introduction of resource counters hierarchies
(28dbc4b6a0) the prototypes of
res_counter_init() and res_counter_charge() have been changed.

Keep the documentation consistent with the actual function prototypes.

a. void res_counter_init(struct res_counter *rc,

Initializes the resource counter. As usual, should be the first
routine called for a new counter.
b. int res_counter_charge[_locked]
(struct res_counter *rc, unsigned long val)
The struct res_counter *parent can be used to define a hierarchical
child -> parent relationship directly in the res_counter structure,
NULL can be used to define no relationship.

* if the charging is performed first, then it should be uncharged
on error path (if the one is called).
c. void res_counter_uncharge[_locked]
If the charging fails and a hierarchical dependency exists, the
limit_fail_at parameter is set to the particular res_counter element
where the charging failed.
d. int res_counter_charge_locked
(struct res_counter *rc, unsigned long val)
The same as res_counter_charge(), but it must not acquire/release the
res_counter->lock internally (it must be called with res_counter->lock
held).
e. void res_counter_uncharge[_locked]
(struct res_counter *rc, unsigned long val)
When a resource is released (freed) it should be de-accounted
from the resource counter it was accounted to. This is called
"uncharging".
The _locked routines imply that the res_counter->lock is taken.
