arm64: entry: Reword comment about post_ttbr_update_workaround
commit f167211a93ac upstream. We don't fully understand the Cavium ThunderX erratum, but it appears that mapping the kernel as nG can lead to horrible consequences such as attempting to execute userspace from kernel context. Since kpti isn't enabled for these CPUs anyway, simplify the comment justifying the lack of post_ttbr_update_workaround in the exception trampoline.
