KVM: x86: Refactor the MMIO SPTE generation handling

The code to propagate the memslots generation number into MMIO sptes is
a bit convoluted.  The "what" is relatively straightfoward, e.g. the
comment explaining which bits go where is quite readable, but the "how"
requires a lot of staring to understand what is happening.  For example,
'MMIO_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is actually used to calculate the high bits of the
spte, while 'MMIO_SPTE_GEN_LOW_SHIFT' is used to calculate the low bits.

Refactor the code to:

  - use #defines whose values align with the bits defined in the comment
  - use consistent code for both the high and low mask
  - explicitly highlight the handling of bit 0 (update in-progress flag)
  - explicitly call out that the defines are for MMIO sptes (to avoid
    confusion with the per-vCPU MMIO cache, which uses the full memslots
    generation)

In addition to making the code a little less magical, this paves the way
for moving the update in-progress flag to bit 63 without having to
simultaneously rewrite all of the MMIO spte code.
