The blurb pertaining to the return value of nested_vmx_load_cr3() no
longer matches reality, remove it entirely as the behavior it is
attempting to document is quite obvious when reading the actual code.

I think it's worth keeping the last part which is " Exit qualification code is assigned to entry_failure_code on failure." because "Entry Failure" and "Exit Qualification" might sound bit confusing until you actually look at the caller nested_vmx_enter_non_root_mode().
