lguest: update commentry
Every so often, after code shuffles, I need to go through and unbitrot the Lguest Journey (see drivers/lguest/README). Since we now use RCU in a simple form in one place I took the opportunity to expand that explanation.

* operations? There are two ways: the direct way is to make a "hypercall",
