x86/mce: Update bootlog description to reflect behavior on AMD 

The bootlog option is only disabled by default on AMD Fam10h and older

Update bootlog description to say this. Change the family value to hex
to avoid confusion.

mce=bootlog
Enable logging of machine checks left over from booting.
Disabled by default on AMD because some BIOS leave bogus ones.
Disabled by default on AMD Fam10h and older because some BIOS

If your BIOS doesn't do that it's a good idea to enable though
