kvm_get_vtcr() takes a parameter named phys_shift, but its kernel-doc
describes phys_shfit. This leaves the real parameter undescribed and
adds an excess parameter description to the generated documentation.
Correct the spelling and describe phys_shift as the IPA size in bits.
The value written to VTCR_EL2.T0SZ is 64 - phys_shift, rather than
phys_shift itself.

Without deviation from the norm, progress is not possible.
