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 ]
