KVM: nVMX: Treat General Detect #DB (DR7.GD=1) as fault-like

Exclude General Detect #DBs, which have fault-like behavior but also have
a non-zero payload (DR6.BD=1), from nVMX's handling of pending debug
traps.  Opportunistically rewrite the comment to better document what is
being checked, i.e. "has a non-zero payload" vs. "has a payload", and to
call out the many caveats surrounding #DBs that KVM dodges one way or
another.

- * In KVM, debug traps bear an exception payload. As such, the class of a #DB
- * exception may be inferred from the presence of an exception payload.
+ * KVM "works" despite these flaws as ICEBP isn't currently supported by the
+ * emulator, Monitor Trap Flag is not marked pending on intercepted #DBs (the
+ * #DB has already happened), and MTF isn't marked pending on code breakpoints
+ * from the emulator (because such #DBs are fault-like and thus don't trigger
+ * actions that fire on instruction retire).
