[PATCH 11/11] KVM: arm64: Document registers exposed via KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_SYSREGS

We never documented which GICv3 registers are available for save/restore
via the KVM_DEV_ARM_VGIC_GRP_CPU_SYSREGS interface.

Let's take the opportunity of adding the EL2 registers to document the whole
thing in one go.
