KVM: x86/mmu: Clarify TDP MMU page list invariants
The tdp_mmu_roots and tdp_mmu_pages in struct kvm_arch should only contain pages with tdp_mmu_page set to true. tdp_mmu_pages should not contain any pages with a non-zero root_count and tdp_mmu_roots should only contain pages with a positive root_count, unless a thread holds the MMU lock and is in the process of modifying the list. Various functions expect these invariants to be maintained, but they are not explictily documented. Add to the comments on both fields to document the above invariants.
