KVM: arm/arm64: Fix vGIC documentation
Correct some old mistakes in the API documentation: 1. VCPU is identified by index (using kvm_get_vcpu() function), but "cpu id" can be mistaken for affinity ID. 2. Some error codes are wrong. [ Slightly tweaked some grammer and did some s/CPU index/vcpu_index/ in the descriptions. -Christoffer ] Signed-off-by: Pavel Fedin <p.fedin@samsung.com> Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>

All distributor regs are (rw, 32-bit)
The offset is relative to the "Distributor base address" as defined in the
GICv2 specs. Getting or setting such a register has the same effect as
- reading or writing the register on the actual hardware from the cpu
- specified with cpu id field. Note that most distributor fields are not
