[pve-devel] [PATCH pve-docs 5/6] pvecm: add note about corosync killnode error

Mentions the misleading error message shown, when deleting a node,
because of the failing command:
    corosync-cfgtool -k x

Some forum users were confused by this, and believed that the removal of
the node was unsuccessful.

+NOTE: At this point, it is possible that you will receive an error message

 Use `pvecm nodes` or `pvecm status` to check the node list again. It should
 look something like:
