[PATCH v2 4/5] irq: Explain better on NMI_MASK overflow condition

[Boqun Feng <boqun@kernel.org>]

Currently __preempt_count_nmi_enter() uses 15 as the maximum NMI nesting
level, and it's because 4 bits are used to represent the nesting level
of NMI. Replace the tautological comment with a more direct mention to
the 4 bits limitation to help readers understand this condition.
