x86/espfix: Document use of _PAGE_GLOBAL
The "normal" kernel page table creation mechanisms using PAGE_KERNEL_* page protections will never set _PAGE_GLOBAL with PTI. The few places in the kernel that always want _PAGE_GLOBAL must avoid using PAGE_KERNEL_*. Document that we want it here and its use is not accidental.
