[PATCH 03/14] KVM: Refactor and document halt-polling stats update helper

Add a comment to document that halt-polling is considered successful even
if the polling loop itself didn't detect a wake event, i.e. if a wake
event was detect in the final kvm_vcpu_check_block().  Invert the param
to the update helper so that the helper is a dumb function that is "told"
whether or not polling was successful, as opposed to having it determinine
success/failure based on blocking behavior.

Opportunistically tweak the params to the update helper to reduce the
line length for the call site so that it fits on a single line, and so
that the prototype conforms to the more traditional kernel style.

No functional change intended.
