parisc: Update comments in make_insert_tlb

The following testcase exposed a problem with our read access checks
in get_user() and raw_copy_from_user():

#include <stdint.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <errno.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/types.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  unsigned long page_size = sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE);
  char *p = malloc(3 * page_size);
  char *p_aligned;

  /* initialize memory region. If not initialized, write syscall below will correctly return EFAULT. */
  if (1)
	memset(p, 'X', 3 * page_size);

  p_aligned = (char *) ((((uintptr_t) p) + (2*page_size - 1)) & ~(page_size - 1));
  /* Drop PROT_READ protection. Kernel and userspace should fault when accessing that memory region */
  mprotect(p_aligned, page_size, PROT_NONE);

  /* the following write() should return EFAULT, since PROT_READ was dropped by previous mprotect() */
  int ret = write(2, p_aligned, 1);
  if (!ret || errno != EFAULT)
	printf("\n FAILURE: write() did not returned expected EFAULT value\n");

  return 0;
}

Because of the way _PAGE_READ is handled, kernel code never generates
a read access fault when it access a page as the kernel privilege level
is always less than PL1 in the PTE.

This patch reworks the comments in the make_insert_tlb macro to try
to make this clearer.
