x86/acpi: Correct out-of-date comment of __acpi_map_table()

The implementation of function __acpi_map_table() has been
changed long time ago, and now it directly invokes
early_ioremap() to setup the temporarily acpi table mappings.

So correct its out-of-date comment.

- * Temporarily use the virtual area starting from FIX_IO_APIC_BASE_END,

- * By using this area, we can map up to MAX_IO_APICS pages temporarily,
