Documentation: core-api: entry: Replace deprecated KVM entry/exit functions

Browse Source 
The x86-specific functions kvm_guest_{enter,exit}_irqoff() were removed
and replaced by the generic guest_state_{enter,exit}_irqoff() in commit
ef9989afda ("kvm: add guest_state_{enter,exit}_irqoff()") and commit
b2d2af7e5d ("kvm/x86: rework guest entry logic").

Update the references in the entry/exit handling documentation.

kernel point of view the CPU goes off into user space when entering the
guest and returns to the kernel on exit.
kvm_guest_enter_irqoff() is a KVM-specific variant of exit_to_user_mode()
and kvm_guest_exit_irqoff() is the KVM variant of enter_from_user_mode().
guest_state_enter_irqoff() is a KVM-specific variant of exit_to_user_mode()
and guest_state_exit_irqoff() is the KVM variant of enter_from_user_mode().
The state operations have the same ordering.
Task work handling is done separately for guest at the boundary of the
