arm64/fpsimd: Document the use of TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE by KVM
The bit of documentation that talks about TIF_FOREIGN_FPSTATE does not mention the ungodly tricks that KVM plays with this flag. Try and document this for the posterity. Reviewed-by: Mark Brown <broonie@kernel.org> Signed-off-by: Marc Zyngier <maz@kernel.org>
