[PATCH 2/2] iommu/tegra241-cmdqv: Update uAPI to clarify HYP_OWN requirement

>From hardware implementation perspective, a guest tegra241-cmdqv hardware
is different than the host hardware:
 - Host HW is backed by a VINTF (HYP_OWN=1)
 - Guest HW is backed by a VINTF (HYP_OWN=0)

The kernel driver has an implementation requirement of the HYP_OWN bit in
the VM. So, VMM must follow that to allow the same copy of Linux to work.

Add this requirement to the uAPI, which is currently missing.
