xen/public: add comment to struct xen_mem_acquire_resource
Commit 7c7f7e8fba changed xen/include/public/memory.h in an incompatible
way. Unfortunately the changed parts were already in use in the Linux
kernel, so an update of the header in the kernel would result in a build
breakage.
As the change of above commit was in a section originally meant to be not
stable, it was the usage in the kernel which was wrong.
Add a comment to the modified struct for not reusing the now removed bit,
in order to avoid kernels using it stumbling over a possible new meaning
of the bit.
In case the kernel is updating to a new version of the header, the wrong
use case must be removed first.
