commit 6690e86be8 ("sched/x86: Save [ER]FLAGS on context switch")
re-introduced the flags saving on context switch to prevent AC leakage.
The pushf/popf instructions are right among the callee saved register
section, so the comment explaining the save/restore is not entirely
correct.
Add a seperate comment to pushf/popf explaining the reason.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
