kvm: Correct documentation of kvm_irqchip_*()
When split irqchip support was introduced, the meaning of
kvm_irqchip_in_kernel() changed: now it only means the LAPIC is
in kernel. The PIC, IOAPIC, and PIT might be in userspace if
irqchip=split was set. Update the doc comment to reflect that.
While at it, remove the "the user asked us" part in
kvm_irqchip_is_split() doc comment. That macro has nothing to do
with existence of explicit user-provided options.
