firmware: arm_sdei: Document the motivation behind these set_fs() calls
The SDEI handler save/restores the addr_limit using set_fs(). It isn't very clear why. The reason is to mirror the arch code's entry assembly. The arch code does this because perf may access user-space, and inheriting the addr_limit may be a problem. Add a comment explaining why this is here.
