Sean Christopherson b93d2ec34e KVM: x86: Reword MSR filtering docs to more precisely define behavior
Reword the MSR filtering documentatiion to more precisely define the
behavior of filtering using common virtualization terminology.

  - Explicitly document KVM's behavior when an MSR is denied
  - s/handled/allowed as there is no guarantee KVM will "handle" the
    MSR access
  - Drop the "fall back" terminology, which incorrectly suggests that
    there is existing KVM behavior to fall back to
  - Fix an off-by-one error in the range (the end is exclusive)
  - Call out the interaction between MSR filtering and
    KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR's KVM_MSR_EXIT_REASON_FILTER
  - Delete the redundant paragraph on what '0' and '1' in the bitmap
    means, it's covered by the sections on KVM_MSR_FILTER_{READ,WRITE}
  - Delete the clause on x2APIC MSR behavior depending on APIC base, this
    is covered by stating that KVM follows architectural behavior when
    emulating/virtualizing MSR accesses
