x86: Tell about irq stack coverage

x86-64 runs irq_exit() under the irq stack. So it can afford
to run softirqs in hardirq exit without the need to switch
the stacks. The hardirq stack is good enough for that.

Now x86-64 runs softirqs in the hardirq stack anyway, so what we
mostly skip is some needless per cpu refcounting updates there.

x86-32 is not concerned because it only runs the irq handler on
the irq stack.
