[PATCH v2 13/14] powerpc/64s: Fix comment on interrupt handler prologue

Interrupt handlers on 64s systems will often need to save register state
from the interrupted process to make space for loading special purpose
registers or for internal state.

Fix a comment documenting a common code path macro in the beginning of
interrupt handlers where r10 is saved to the PACA to afford space for
the value of the CFAR. Comment is currently written as if r10-r12 are
saved to PACA, but in fact only r10 is saved.
