Document v4l2_async_nf_cleanup() which must be called before releasing an
unregistered notifier's memory. Also remove the sentence regarding
v4l2_async_nf_init() arguments --- those are documented in kerneldoc which
is referred here.

 Before registering the notifier, bridge drivers must do two things: first, the
 notifier must be initialized using the :c:func:`v4l2_async_nf_init`.  Second,
