media: Documentation: v4l: Document sub-device notifiers

Document that sub-device notifiers are now registered using
v4l2_async_subdev_nf_init(). No documentation is changed as it seems that
sub-device notifiers were not documented apart from kernel-doc comments.

Asynchronous sub-device notifier for sub-devices
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A driver that registers an asynchronous sub-device may also register an
asynchronous notifier. This is called an asynchronous sub-device notifier andthe
process is similar to that of a bridge driver apart from that the notifier is
initialised using :c:func:`v4l2_async_subdev_nf_init` instead. A sub-device
notifier may complete only after the V4L2 device becomes available, i.e. there's
a path via async sub-devices and notifiers to a notifier that is not an
asynchronous sub-device notifier.
