[PATCH 2/2] KVM: Clean up coalesced MMIO ring full check

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

Fold coalesced_mmio_has_room() into its sole caller, coalesced_mmio_write(),
as it's really just a single line of code, has a goofy return value, and
is unnecessarily brittle.

E.g. if coalesced_mmio_has_room() were to check ring->last directly, or
the caller failed to use READ_ONCE(), KVM would be susceptible to TOCTOU
attacks from userspace.

Opportunistically add a comment explaining why on earth KVM leaves one
entry free, which may not be obvious to readers that aren't famailiar with
ring buffers.

No functional change intended.
