xarray: Document necessary flag in alloc functions

Adds a new line to the docstrings of functions wrapping __xa_alloc() and
__xa_alloc_cyclic(), informing about the necessity of flag XA_FLAGS_ALLOC
being set previously.

The documentation so far says that functions wrapping __xa_alloc() and
__xa_alloc_cyclic() are supposed to return either -ENOMEM or -EBUSY in
case of an error. If the xarray has been initialized without the flag
XA_FLAGS_ALLOC, however, they fail with a different, undocumented error
code.

As hinted at in Documentation/core-api/xarray.rst, wrappers around these
functions should only be invoked when the flag has been set. The
functions' documentation should reflect that as well.
