Dave Martin ecfb6ed4f6 KVM: arm64/sve: Explain validity checks in set_sve_vls()
Correct virtualization of SVE relies for correctness on code in
set_sve_vls() that verifies consistency between the set of vector
lengths requested by userspace and the set of vector lengths
available on the host.

However, the purpose of this code is not obvious, and not likely to
be apparent at all to people who do not have detailed knowledge of
the SVE system-level architecture.

This patch adds a suitable comment to explain what these checks are
for.

No functional change.
