Using LinearAllocator for non-CPU-visible memory

Nothing in the documentation suggests that LinearAllocator should be limited to CPU-visible memory, yet there is an assert in the code: https://docs.rs/rendy-memory/0.5.2/src/rendy_memory/allocator/linear.rs.html#236

Is this a bug in documentation or in the code?

There is no reason to limit Linear allocator to CPU-visible memory only.
But at the time I wasn't considering any other cases where it would be useful.
