A comment in kvm_s390_pv_dmp() suggested gaddr is an output parameter
for KVM_PV_DUMP_CONFIG_STOR_STATE, and kvm_s390_pv_dump_stor_state()
wrote back uvcb.gaddr through the pointer accordingly.
However, api.rst does not document that KVM_PV_DUMP_CONFIG_STOR_STATE
writes back dump.gaddr and QEMU does not use it. Furthermore, the
write-back would not have reached userspace in any case: dmp was passed
by value to kvm_s390_pv_dmp() so copy_to_user() in the caller always
copied the unmodified input gaddr, not the updated one.
Drop the write-back and the misleading comment, and change the gaddr
parameter of kvm_s390_pv_dump_stor_state() to u64 to reflect its
input-only role.
