[PATCH] 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 text, rather than interpretation of it.

Fixes: 95807bcae47e ("C6 state with EOI issue fix for some Intel processors")

Pulled out of the cleanup series as it wants backporting.
