KVM: s390: mark irq_state.flags as non-usable

Browse Source 
Old kernels did not check for zero in the irq_state.flags field and old
QEMUs did not zero the flag/reserved fields when calling
KVM_S390_*_IRQ_STATE.  Let's add comments to prevent future uses of
these fields.

Userspace passes in the above struct and for each pending interrupt a
struct kvm_s390_irq is copied to the provided buffer.
The structure contains a flags and a reserved field for future extensions. As
the kernel never checked for flags == 0 and QEMU never pre-zeroed flags and
reserved, these fields can not be used in the future without breaking
compatibility.
If -ENOBUFS is returned the buffer provided was too small and userspace
may retry with a bigger buffer.
