KVM: s390: mark irq_state.flags as non-usable

Old kernels did not check for zero in the irq_state.flags field and old
QEMUs did not zero the flag/reserved fields when calling
KVM_S390_*_IRQ_STATE.  Let's add comments to prevent future uses of
these fields.

 If -ENOBUFS is returned the buffer provided was too small and userspace
