KVM: SVM: Add a comment to explain why avic_vcpu_blocking() ignores IRQ blocking
Add a comment to explain why KVM clears IsRunning when putting a vCPU,
even though leaving IsRunning=1 would be ok from a functional perspective.
Per Maxim's experiments, a misbehaving VM could spam the AVIC doorbell so
fast as to induce a 50%+ loss in performance.
