x86/idle: Fix the C6 eoi_errata[] list to include NEHALEM_EX
NEHALEM_EX is affected by the erratum too.
Change the comment to be the full erratum text, not an interpretation of it.
Fixes: 95807bcae47e ("C6 state with EOI issue fix for some Intel processors")

+ * Errata AAJ72, etc: EOI Transaction May Not be Sent if Software
+ * Enters Core C6 During an Interrupt Service Routine
*
- * There was an errata with some Core i7 processors that an EOI
- * transaction may not be sent if software enters core C6 during an
- * interrupt service routine. So we don't enter deep Cx state if
- * there is an EOI pending.
+ * If core C6 is entered after the start of an interrupt service
+ * routine but before a write to the APIC EOI (End of Interrupt)
+ * register, and the core is woken up by an event other than a fixed
+ * interrupt source the core may drop the EOI transaction the next
+ * time APIC EOI register is written and further interrupts from the
+ * same or lower priority level will be blocked.
+ *
+ * Software should check the ISR register and if any interrupts are in
+ * service only enter C1.
