bcachefs: Add a comment for bucket helper types

Browse Source 
We've had bugs in the past with incorrect integer conversions in disk
accounting code, which is why bucket helpers now always return s64s; add
a comment explaining this.

* It is my general preference to use unsigned types for unsigned quantities -
* however, these helpers are used in disk accounting calculations run by
* triggers where the output will be negated and added to an s64. unsigned is
* right out even though all these quantities will fit in 32 bits, since it
* won't be sign extended correctly; u64 will negate "correctly", but s64 is the
* simpler option here.
