x86, doc: Update uaccess.h comment to reflect clang changes
Update comment in uaccess.h to reflect the changes for clang support: gcc only cares about the base register (most architectures don't encode the size of the operation in the operands like x86 does, and so it is treated effectively like a register number), whereas clang tries to enforce the size -- but not for register pairs.

* %rdx on 64 bits.
