KVM: s390: document FLIC behavior on unsupported 

FLIC behavior deviates from the API documentation in reporting EINVAL
instead of ENXIO for KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR/KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR when the group
or attribute is unknown/unsupported. Unfortunately this can not be fixed
for historical reasons. Let us at least have it documented.

Note: The KVM_SET_DEVICE_ATTR/KVM_GET_DEVICE_ATTR device ioctls executed on
FLIC with an unknown group or attribute gives the error code EINVAL (instead of
ENXIO, as specified in the API documentation). It is not possible to conclude
that a FLIC operation is unavailable based on the error code resulting from a
usage attempt.
