[PATCH 4/5] x86/mce: Clarify comments regarding deferred error

[Borislav Petkov]

From: Aravind Gopalakrishnan <Aravind.Gopalakrishnan@xxxxxxx>

Deferred errors indicate errors that hardware could not fix. But it
still does not cause any interruption to program flow. So it does not
generate any #MC and UC bit in MCx_STATUS is not set.

Correct comment.
