KVM: Clean up coalesced MMIO ring full check
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 familiar with ring buffers. No functional change intended.
