KVM: arm64: Document check for TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE

Browse Source 
In kvm_arch_vcpu_load_fp() we unconditionally set the current FP state
to FP_STATE_HOST_OWNED, this will be overridden to FP_STATE_NONE if
TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE is set but the check is deferred until
kvm_arch_vcpu_ctxflush_fp() where we are no longer preemptable. Add a
comment to this effect to help avoid people being concerned about the
lack of a check and discover where the check is done.
