x86: correct/clarify comment in nops.h

<asm-x86/nops.h> describes certain multibyte instructions as
"generic" nops when in fact they aren't nops at all in 64-bit
mode (missing REX.W causing truncation of a register).

Update the comment to state that K8 or P6 style nops should be
used in 64-bit mode. This matches what the alternatives code does.
