KVM: fix cpuid eax for KVM leaf
cpuid eax should return the max leaf so that guests can find out the valid range. This matches Xen et al. Update documentation to match. Tested with -cpu host. Signed-off-by: Michael S. Tsirkin <mst@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@redhat.com>

18The value in eax corresponds to the maximum cpuid function present in this leaf,
19and will be updated if more functions are added in the future.
20Note also that old hosts set eax value to 0x0. This should
21be interpreted as if the value was 0x40000001.
