x86/intel/quark: Add comment on TLB flush to setup_arch()
Quark X1000 requires CR3 to be rewritten to flush TLB entries
irrespective of the PGE bits in CR4 or PTE.PGE.
Add a comment to setup_arch() to indicate that the code:
load_cr3(swapper_pg_dir);
__flush_tlb_all();
Will already have flushed the TLB @ the CR3 reload allowing us
to skip over a potential if/else for Quark.
