efi: Document #define FOO_PROTOCOL_GUID layout

Add a comment documenting why EFI GUIDs are laid out like they are.

Ideally I'd like to change all the ", " to "," too, but right now the
format is such that checkpatch won't complain with new ones, and staring
at checkpatch didn't get me anywhere towards making that work.

* EFI Configuration Table and GUID definitions
* EFI Configuration Table and GUID definitions
*
* These should be formatted roughly like the ones in the UEFI SPEC has
* them. It makes them easier to grep for, and they look the same when
* you're staring at them. Here's the guide:
*
* GUID: 12345678-1234-1234-1234-123456789012
* Spec:
* #define EFI_SOME_PROTOCOL_GUID \
* {0x12345678,0x1234,0x1234,\
* {0x12,0x34,0x12,0x34,0x56,0x78,0x90,0x12}}
* Here:
* #define SOME_PROTOCOL_GUID \
* EFI_GUID(0x12345678, 0x1234, 0x1234, \
* 0x12, 0x34, 0x12, 0x34, 0x56, 0x78, 0x90, 0x12)
* ^ tab ^tab ^ space
