Clarify the smu_cmn_send_smc_msg_with_param documentation to mention two
cases exist where messages are silently dropped with no error returned.
These cases occur in unusual situations where either:
1. the message type is not allowed to a virtual GPU, or
2. a PCI recovery is underway and the HW is not yet in sync with the SW
For more details see
commit 4ea5081c82 ("drm/amd/powerplay: enable SMC message filter")
commit bf36b52e78 ("drm/amdgpu: Avoid accessing HW when suspending SW state")
(v2)
Reworked with suggestions from Luben & Paul
(v3)
Updated wording as per Luben's feedback
Corrected error stating all messages denied on virtual GPU
(each GPU has mask of which messages are allowed)
