This change rejects the KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION and
KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2 ioctls when called on a ucontrol VM.
This is neccessary since ucontrol VMs have kvm->arch.gmap set to 0 and
would thus result in a null pointer dereference further in.
Memory management needs to be performed in userspace and using the
ioctls KVM_S390_UCAS_MAP and KVM_S390_UCAS_UNMAP.

Also improve s390 specific documentation for KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION
and KVM_SET_USER_MEMORY_REGION2.


I'll add this tag when picking since it's a fix:
Fixes: 27e0393f15fc ("KVM: s390: ucontrol: per vcpu address spaces")

It's a bit hard to track down the commit that should have contained your code to begin with and I think this is the closest we'll get.
