Subject: [PATCH v4 05/10] x86/microcode/AMD: Add a reminder about
 PATCH_MAX_SIZE macro

The PATCH_MAX_SIZE macro should contain the maximum of all family patch
sizes.
Since these sizes are defined in an other place than this macro, let's add
a reminder to them so people will remember to verify PATCH_MAX_SIZE
correctness when modifying a family patch size or adding a new family.
