x86/mce: Clarify comments regarding deferred error
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
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.
