[PATCH 3/3] KVM: x86: Clean up KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR documentation

[Sean Christopherson]

Clean up the KVM_CAP_X86_USER_SPACE_MSR documentation to eliminate
misleading and/or inconsistent verbiage, and to actually document what
accesses are intercepted by which flags.

  - s/will/may since not all #GPs are guaranteed to be intercepted
  - s/deflect/intercept to align with common KVM terminology
  - s/user space/userspace to align with the majority of KVM docs
  - Avoid using "trap" terminology, as KVM exits to userspace _before_
    stepping, i.e. doesn't exhibit trap-like behavior
  - Actually document the flags
