Adds documentation for V4L2_MEMORY_FLAG_RESTRICTED.


Why not in the patch where the flag is actually being added?
From that commit until this commit it would be undocumented.

While at it...

is V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_RESTRICTED_MEM documented? Can it be referenced here
in a way similar to how V4L2_BUF_CAP_SUPPORTS_MMAP_CACHE_HINTS is?
