update SMB_BWRITE documentation, clarify SMB_BREAD

Browse Source 
After removal of SMB_TRANS some information in the description of
SMB_BWRITE has become stale.  E.g., the maximum block size has been
restored to 32.

Also, the descriptions of SMB_BREAD and SMB_BWRITE had some
incorrect information on the SMBus protocol details.
