arm64: assembler: Update comment above cond_yield_neon() macro 

Since commit 7faa313f05 ("arm64: preempt: Fix big-endian when checking
preempt count in assembly") both the preempt count and the 'need_resched'
flag are checked as part of a single 64-bit load in cond_yield_neon(),
so update the stale comment to reflect reality.

* The yield itself consists of the following:
* - Check whether the preempt count is exactly 1, in which case disabling
* preemption once will make the task preemptible. If this is not the case,
* yielding is pointless.
* - Check whether TIF_NEED_RESCHED is set, and if so, disable and re-enable
* kernel mode NEON (which will trigger a reschedule), and branch to the
* yield fixup code.
* - Check whether the preempt count is exactly 1 and a reschedule is also
* needed. If so, calling of preempt_enable() in kernel_neon_end() will
* trigger a reschedule. If it is not the case, yielding is pointless.
* - Disable and re-enable kernel mode NEON, and branch to the yield fixup
