KVM: x86: Don't WARN if userspace mucks with RCX during string I/O exit

Browse source

commit d07898eaf3 upstream.

Replace a WARN with a comment to call out that userspace can modify RCX
during an exit to userspace to handle string I/O.  KVM doesn't actually
support changing the rep count during an exit, i.e. the scenario can be
ignored, but the WARN needs to go as it's trivial to trigger from
userspace.
