KVM: x86: Tweak name of MONITOR/MWAIT #UD quirk to make it #UD specific
Add a "UD" clause to KVM_X86_QUIRK_MWAIT_NEVER_FAULTS to make it clear
that the quirk only controls the #UD behavior of MONITOR/MWAIT. KVM
doesn't currently enforce fault checks when MONITOR/MWAIT are supported,
but that could change in the future. SVM also has a virtualization hole
in that it checks all faults before intercepts, and so "never faults" is
already a lie when running on SVM.
