Issue is that normal user have no idea that bcachefs is experimental

- modinfo does not say anything about experimental
- bcachefs user tool does not say anything about experimental. iirc
btrfs user tool warns that you are going to use experimental stuff
when you select raid5
I think the only place where that can be done sensibly (even
retroactively) is in the distro's package manager when one installs
the tools. Might have been something that could have been in the
format sub-command, but it's way too late for that now.
I dont think it's distros maintainers job. It should have been in bcache
user tools reporting it as experimental just like btrfs has done. Also
experimental tag could have been put into module description, but that
would have been kinda passive method.
