KVM: Documentation: Add the missing description for tdp_mmu_root_count into kvm_mmu_page

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.

-  root_count:
-    A counter keeping track of how many hardware registers (guest cr3 or

+  root_count / tdp_mmu_root_count:
+     root_count is a reference counter for root shadow pages in Shadow MMU.
+     vCPUs elevate the refcount when getting a shadow page that will be used as
+     a root page, i.e. page that will be loaded into hardware directly (CR3,
+     PDPTRs, nCR3 EPTP). Root pages cannot be destroyed while their refcount is
+     non-zero. See role.invalid. tdp_mmu_root_count is similar but exclusively
+     used in TDP MMU as an atomic refcount.
   parent_ptes:
     The reverse mapping for the pte/ptes pointing at this page's spt. If
     parent_ptes bit 0 is zero, only one spte points at this page and
