The x86-specific functions kvm_guest_{enter,exit}_irqoff() were removed
and replaced by the generic guest_state_{enter,exit}_irqoff() in commit
ef9989afda ("kvm: add guest_state_{enter,exit}_irqoff()") and commit
b2d2af7e5d ("kvm/x86: rework guest entry logic").
Update the references in the entry/exit handling documentation.

hasn't been addressed so far. So do it.

Fill the gaps.
