accel/habanalabs: clarify ctx use after hl_ctx_put() in dmabuf release

In hl_release_dmabuf(), ctx is dereferenced after calling hl_ctx_put()
to obtain the compute device file.

This is safe because the dma-buf object holds a file reference taken in
export_dmabuf(), and the file release (which drops another ctx reference)
can only happen after we drop that file reference via fput(). Thus, this
hl_ctx_put() call cannot be the last one at this point.

Add a comment explaining this to avoid confusion.
