tracing/user_events: Document user_event_mm one-shot list usage
During 6.4 development it became clear that the one-shot list used by the user_event_mm's next field was confusing to others. It is not clear how this list is protected or what the next field usage is for unless you are familiar with the code. Add comments into the user_event_mm struct indicating lock requirement and usage. Also document how and why this approach was used via comments in both user_event_enabler_update() and user_event_mm_get_all() and the rules to properly use it.
