KVM: arm64: Clarify access behaviour for out-of-range SVE register slice IDs

The existing documentation for which SVE register slice IDs are
considered out-of-range, and what happens when userspace tries to
access them, is cryptic.

This patch rewords the text with the aim of making it a bit easier to
understand.

No functional change.

Access to slices beyond the maximum vector length configured for the
vcpu (i.e., where 16 * slice >= max_vq (**)) will fail with ENOENT.
Access to register IDs where 2048 * slice >= 128 * max_vq will fail with
ENOENT. max_vq is the vcpu's maximum supported vector length in 128-bit
quadwords: see (**) below.
These registers are only accessible on vcpus for which SVE is enabled.
See KVM_ARM_VCPU_INIT for details.
