ivshmem: document a potential crash in rte_ring
Commit 4768c475 added a pointer to the memzone in rte_ring. However, all memzones are residing in local mem_config, therefore accessing the memzone pointer inside the guest in an IVSHMEM-shared rte_ring will cause segmentation fault. This issue is unlikely to ever get fixed, as this would require lots of changes for very little benefit, therefore we're documenting this limitation instead.
