x86/sev: Document requirement for linear mapping of guest request buffers
The Guest Request supports 3 types of messages now, the largest is the extended variant of MSG_REPORT_REQ: sizeof(snp_ext_report_req)==112. These used to be allocated on stack and then moved to the SNP guest platform device (snp_guest_dev) for the reason explained in db10cb9b5746 ("virt: sevguest: Fix passing a stack buffer as a scatterlist target"): aesgcm_encrypt() and aesgcm_decrypt() are used for guest messages and might potentially use a crypto accelerator which requires DMA buffers to be in the linear mapping. Add a comment, warn and return an error when the buffers are not in linear mapping.
