ACPI: restore comment justifying 'extra' P_LVLx access
While trying to look for superfluous I/O accesses that can be optimized away, I stumbled upon this ACPI sleep I/O access and couldn't figure out why the hell this dummy op was necessary. After more than one hour of internet research, I had collected a sufficient number of documents (among those very old kernel versions) that finally told me what this dummy read was about: STPCLK# doesn't get asserted in time on (some) chipsets, which is why we need to have a dummy I/O read to delay further instruction processing until the CPU is fully stopped.
