platform/x86: wmi: Update documentation regarding the GUID-based API

Warn WMI driver developers to not use GUID-based and non-GUID-based
functions for querying WMI data blocks and handling WMI events
simultaneously on the same device, as this will corrupt the WMI device
state and might thus lead to erratic behaviour.
