will change to nr_close_windows and nr_windows.
used_credits is used for how many windows / credits are used by user
space. But when OS lost the credit, this window will be used in the
hypervisor, but not from the user space point of view. It should expect
this window is not active and should be available later.
But OS will be closing this window in the hypervisor. So used
close_wins / num_wins are used to track the actual number of windows
opened/closed in the hypervisor.
