Subject: Documentation/virt/kvm/api.rst: Explain rc/rrc delivery
Git-commit: b0f46280d3fcd59a65cfae9742fa5172362af893
Patch-mainline: v6.0-rc1
References: jsc#PED-622

Let's explain in which situations the rc/rrc will set in struct
kvm_pv_cmd so it's clear that the struct members should be set to
0. rc/rrc are independent of the IOCTL return code.

+**Ultravisor return codes**
+The Ultravisor return (reason) codes are provided by the kernel if a
+Ultravisor call has been executed to achieve the results expected by
+the command. Therefore they are independent of the IOCTL return
+code. If KVM changes `rc`, its value will always be greater than 0
+hence setting it to 0 before issuing a PV command is advised to be
+able to detect a change of `rc`.
