Subject: [PATCH v2 4/4] KVM: ensure vCPU halt_poll_us in right scope

As user can adjust halt_poll_ns_grow_start and halt_poll_ns which
leads to vcpu->halt_poll_ns beyond the two boundaries. This patch
ensures vcpu->halt_poll_ns in that scope after growing or shrinking.

If halt_poll_ns_shrink is 0, shrink vcpu->halt_poll_ns to
halt_poll_ns_grow_start instead of 0. To disable poll we can set
halt_poll_ns to 0.

In case user wrongly set halt_poll_ns_grow_start > halt_poll_ns > 0,
halt_poll_ns take precedency and poll time is a fixed value of
halt_poll_ns.

This patch also simplifies branch check based on the guest haltpoll
code.
