target/riscv: Add some comments to clarify the priority policy of riscv_csrrw_check()
The priority policy of riscv_csrrw_check() was once adjusted in
commit eacaf44019
("target/riscv: Fix priority of csr related check in riscv_csrrw_check")
whose commit message says the CSR existence check should come before
the access control check, but the code changes did not agree with
the commit message, that the predicate() check actually came after
the read / write check.
In fact this was intentional. Add some comments there so that people
won't bother trying to change it without a solid reason.
