Subject: [PATCH v3 5/6] KVM: TDX: Document alignment requirements for KVM_TDX_INIT_MEM_REGION

Since it was never possible to use a non-PAGE_SIZE-aligned @source_addr,
go ahead and document this as a requirement. This is in preparation for
enforcing page-aligned @source_addr for all architectures in
guest_memfd.
