KVM: x86: Enhance comments for MMU roles and nested transition trickiness
Expand the comments for the MMU roles. The interactions with gfn_track
PGD reuse in particular are hairy.
Regarding PGD reuse, add comments in the nested virtualization flows to
call out why kvm_init_mmu() is unconditionally called even when nested
TDP is used.
