rfkill: clarify meaning of rfkill states

Browse Source 
rfkill really should have been named rfswitch.  As it is, one can get
confused whether RFKILL_STATE_ON means the KILL switch is on (and
therefore, the radio is being *blocked* from operating), or whether it
means the RADIO rf output is on.

Clearly state that RFKILL_STATE_ON means the radio is *unblocked* from
operating (i.e. there is no rf killing going on).

===============================================================================
1: Implementation details
The rfkill switch subsystem exists to add a generic interface to circuitry that
can enable or disable the RF output of a radio *transmitter* of any type.
When a rfkill switch is in the RFKILL_STATE_ON, the radio transmitter is
*enabled*. When the rfkill switch is in the RFKILL_STATE_OFF, the radio
transmitter is *disabled*.
The rfkill switch subsystem offers support for keys often found on laptops
to enable wireless devices like WiFi and Bluetooth.
