powerpc/64: Correct comment on LOAD_HANDLER()
The comment for LOAD_HANDLER() was wrong. The part about kdump has not
been true since 1f6a93e4c35e ("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.
