virtio_pci: document why we defer kfree
commit a1eb03f5 upstream. The reason we defer kfree until release function is because it's a general rule for kobjects: kfree of the reference counter itself is only legal in the release function. Previous patch didn't make this clear, document this in code. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> [ luis: backported to 3.16: - file rename: virtio_pci_legacy.c -> virtio_pci.c ] Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com>
