[PATCH] KVM: x86: Use the correct size of struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data and fix the documentation

From: Xiaoyao Li
Date: Fri Oct 13 2023 - 03:00:56 EST


The size of struct kvm_vcpu_pv_apf_data is 68 bytes, not 64 bytes.
Fix the kvm_gfn_to_hva_cache_init() to use the correct size though KVM
only touches fist 8 bytes.

Fix the documentation and opportunistically refine the documentation.
