drm: amd: amdgpu: ACPI: Add comment about ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0
According to the ACPI specification [1], the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 flag merely means that it is better to use low-power S0 idle on the given platform than S3 (provided that the latter is supported) and it doesn't preclude using either of them (which of them will be used depends on the choices made by user space). However, on some systems that flag is used to indicate whether or not to enable special firmware mechanics allowing the system to save more energy when suspended to idle. If that flag is unset, doing so is generally risky. Accordingly, add a comment to explain the ACPI_FADT_LOW_POWER_S0 check in amdgpu_acpi_is_s0ix_active(), the purpose of which is otherwise somewhat unclear.
