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.

Would be nice to have a selftest for ucontrol VMs, too... just saying :)

Already in the works, he just hasn't posted it yet :)
We did do a couple rounds of internal feedback on the tests first.
