[PATCH 6.12 015/265] rseq: Clarify rseq registration rseq_size bound check comment

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

[ Upstream commit 26d43a90be81fc90e26688a51d3ec83188602731 ]

The rseq registration validates that the rseq_size argument is greater
or equal to 32 (the original rseq size), but the comment associated with
this check does not clearly state this.

Clarify the comment to that effect.
