Starting in the 6.15 kernel, VMBus interrupts are automatically
assigned away from a CPU that is being taken offline. Add documentation
describing this case.
Also add details of Hyper-V behavior when the primary channel of
a VMBus device is closed as the result of unbinding the device's
driver. This behavior has not changed, but it was not previously
documented.

Current documentation does not describe how Linux handles the synthetic
interrupt controller (synic) that Hyper-V provides to guest VMs, nor how
VMBus or timer interrupts are handled. Add text describing the synic and
reorganize existing text to make this more clear.
