docs: block: biodoc.rst: Drop the obsolete and incorrect content
Since commit 7eaceaccab5f ("block: remove per-queue plugging"), kernel
has removed blk_run_address_space(), blk_unplug() and sync_buffer(),
and moved to on-stack plugging. The document has been obsolete for
years.
Given that there is no obvious counterparts in the new mechinism to
replace old APIs, this patch drops the content directly.
