powerpc: Update comments in irqflags.h
The comment on TRACE_ENABLE_INTS is incorrect, and appears to have always been incorrect since the code was merged. It probably came from an original out-of-tree patch. Replace it with something that's correct. Also propagate the message to RECONCILE_IRQ_STATE(), because it's potentially subtle.
