x86: correct comment about alternatives ordering
Unlike Linux, Xen has never (so far) used alternatives patching for
memcpy() or memset(), even less such utilizing multiple alternatives.
Correct the Linux-inherited comment to match reality.

* The scan order should be from start to end. A later scanned
* alternative code can overwrite a previous scanned alternative code.
- * Some kernel functions (e.g. memcpy, memset, etc) use this order to
- * patch code.
+ * Some code (e.g. ALTERNATIVE_2()) relies on this order of patching.

* So be careful if you want to change the scan order to any other
