x86/tracing: comment need for atomic nop
The dynamic function tracer relys on the macro P6_NOP5 always being
an atomic NOP. If for some reason it is changed to be two operations
(like a nop2 nop3) it can faults within the kernel when the function
tracer modifies the code.
This patch adds a comment to note that the P6_NOPs are expected to
be atomic. This will hopefully prevent anyone from changing that.
