virtio: document virtio_reset_device

Looks like most callers get driver/device removal wrong.
Document what's expected of callers.

/**
* virtio_reset_device - quiesce device for removal
* @dev: the device to reset
*
* Prevents device from sending interrupts and accessing memory.
*
* Generally used for cleanup during driver / device removal.
*
* Once this has been invoked, caller must ensure that
* virtqueue_notify / virtqueue_kick are not in progress.
*
* Note: this guarantees that vq callbacks are not in progress, however caller
* is responsible for preventing access from other contexts, such as a system
* call/workqueue/bh. Invoking virtio_break_device then flushing any such
* contexts is one way to handle that.
