powerpc/64: Correct comment on LOAD_HANDLER()

Browse source 
The comment for LOAD_HANDLER() was wrong. The part about kdump has not
been true since 1f6a93e4c3 ("powerpc: Make it possible to move the
interrupt handlers away from the kernel").

Describe how it currently works, and combine the two separate comments
into one.

* We're short on space and time in the exception prolog, so we can't
* use the normal SET_REG_IMMEDIATE macro. Normally we just need the
* low halfword of the address, but for Kdump we need the whole low
* word.
* use the normal LOAD_REG_IMMEDIATE macro to load the address of label.
* Instead we get the base of the kernel from paca->kernelbase and or in the low
* part of label. This requires that the label be within 64KB of kernelbase, and
* that kernelbase be 64K aligned.
