[PATCH 2/2] KVM: documentation update to halt polling

[Parshuram Sangle <parshuram.sangle@intel.com>]

Corrected kvm documentation to reflect current handling of
polling interval on successful and un-successful polling events.
Also updated the description about newly added halt_poll_ns_grow_start
parameter.
