KVM: fix cpuid eax for KVM leaf

cpuid eax should return the max leaf so that
guests can find out the valid range.
This matches Xen et al.
Update documentation to match.

Tested with -cpu host.

KVM cpuid functions are:
function: KVM_CPUID_SIGNATURE (0x40000000)
returns : eax = 0,
returns : eax = 0x40000001,
ebx = 0x4b4d564b,
ecx = 0x564b4d56,
edx = 0x4d.
Note that this value in ebx, ecx and edx corresponds to the string "KVMKVMKVM".
The value in eax corresponds to the maximum cpuid function present in this leaf,
and will be updated if more functions are added in the future.
Note also that old hosts set eax value to 0x0. This should
be interpreted as if the value was 0x40000001.
This function queries the presence of KVM cpuid leafs.
