Documentation/virtual/kvm: Support the vCPU preemption check

Browse Source 
Commit ("x86/kvm: support vCPU preemption check") added a new
struct kvm_steal_time::preempted field. This field tells us if
a vCPU is running or not.

It is zero if some old KVM does not support this field or if the vCPU
is not preempted. Other values means the vCPU has been preempted.
