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.

* Returns true if a debug trap is pending delivery.
* Returns true if a debug trap is (likely) pending delivery. Infer the class
* of a #DB (trap-like vs. fault-like) from the exception payload (to-be-DR6).
* Using the payload is flawed because code breakpoints (fault-like) and data
* breakpoints (trap-like) set the same bits in DR6 (breakpoint detected), i.e.
* this will return false positives if a to-be-injected code breakpoint #DB is
* pending (from KVM's perspective, but not "pending" across an instruction
* boundary). ICEBP, a.k.a. INT1, is also not reflected here even though it
* too is trap-like.
*
* 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).
