KVM: arm64: Extend comment in has_vhe()

has_vhe() expands to a compile-time constant when evaluated from the VHE
or nVHE code, alternatively checking a static key when called from
elsewhere in the kernel. On face value, this looks like a case of
premature optimization, but in fact this allows symbol references on
VHE-specific code paths to be dropped from the nVHE object.

Expand the comment in has_vhe() to make this clearer, hopefully
discouraging anybody from simplifying the code.
