KVM: arm64: Clarify the ordering requirements for vcpu/RD creation

Browse source 
It goes without saying, but it is probably better to spell it out:

If userspace tries to restore and VM, but creates vcpus and/or RDs
in a different order, the vcpu/RD mapping will be different. Yes,
our API is an ugly piece of crap and I can't believe that we missed
this.

If we want to relax the above, we'll need to define a new userspace
API that allows the mapping to be specified, rather than relying
on the kernel to perform the mapping on its own.

It is invalid to mix calls with KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST and
KVM_VGIC_V3_ADDR_TYPE_REDIST_REGION attributes.
Note that to obtain reproducible results (the same VCPU being associated
with the same redistributor across a save/restore operation), VCPU creation
order, redistributor region creation order as well as the respective
interleaves of VCPU and region creation MUST be preserved. Any change in
either ordering may result in a different vcpu_id/redistributor association,
resulting in a VM that will fail to run at restore time.
