[PATCH v3 4/6] KVM: Documentation: Add the missing description for tdp_mmu_root_count into kvm_mmu_page

[Mingwei Zhang]

Add the description of tdp_mmu_root_count into kvm_mmu_page description and
combine it with the description of root_count. tdp_mmu_root_count is an
atomic counter used only in TDP MMU. Update the doc.
