The venus and s5p-mfc drivers add the loop filter alpha/beta offset
controls V4L2_CID_MPEG_VIDEO_H264_LOOP_FILTER_ALPHA/BETA with a range of
-6 to +6, inclusive. This is exactly the range specified for the slice
header fields slice_alpha_c0_offset_div2 and slice_beta_offset_div2,
which store half the actual filter offsets FilterOffsetA/B.
Clarify that this control contains the halved offsets.

I assume that the venus and s5p-mfc drivers use the loop filter control
values directly as halved filter offsets, because of the ranges. If this
is not the case, the documentation should be changed to clarify that the
control values correspond to FilterOffsetA/B directly, instead.
