s390: Clarify pagefault interrupt 

While looking at set_task_state() users I stumbled over the s390 pfault
interrupt code.  Since Heiko provided a great explanation on how it
worked, I figured we ought to preserve this.

Also make a few little tweaks to the code to aid in readability and
explicitly comment the unusual blocking scheme.

/*
* The mechanism of our pfault code: if Linux is running as guest, runs a user
* space process and the user space process accesses a page that the host has
* paged out we get a pfault interrupt.
*
* This allows us, within the guest, to schedule a different process. Without
* this mechanism the host would have to suspend the whole virtual cpu until
* the page has been paged in.
*
* So when we get such an interrupt then we set the state of the current task
* to uninterruptible and also set the need_resched flag. Both happens within
* interrupt context(!). If we later on want to return to user space we
* recognize the need_resched flag and then call schedule(). It's not very
* obvious how this works...
*
* Of course we have a lot of additional fun with the completion interrupt (->
* host signals that a page of a process has been paged in and the process can
* continue to run). This interrupt can arrive on any cpu and, since we have
* virtual cpus, actually appear before the interrupt that signals that a page
* is missing.
