KVM: ARM: Update comments for kvm_handle_wfi
Update comments to reflect what is really going on and add the TWE bit to the comments in kvm_arm.h. Also renames the function to kvm_handle_wfx like is done on arm64 for consistency and uber-correctness. Signed-off-by: Christoffer Dall <christoffer.dall@linaro.org>
