KVM: nVMX: Treat General Detect #DB (DR7.GD=1) as fault-like

Browse source

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.
