Rename the "shared_msrs" mechanism, which is used to defer restoring MSRs that are only consumed when running in userspace, to a more banal but less likely to be confusing "user_return_msrs". The "shared" nomenclature is confusing as it's not obvious who is sharing what, e.g. reasonable interpretations are that the guest value is shared by vCPUs in a VM, or that the MSR value is shared/common to guest and host, both of which are wrong. "shared" is also misleading as the MSR value (in hardware) is not guaranteed to be shared/reused between VMs (if that's indeed the correct interpretation of the name), as the ability to share values between VMs is simply a side effect (albiet a very nice side effect) of deferring restoration of the host value until returning from userspace. "user_return" avoids the above confusion by describing the mechanism itself instead of its effects.
