Subject: [PATCH v2 2/7] KVM: selftests: x86: Fix an error in comment of amx_test

After the execution of __tilerelease(), AMX component will be in INIT
state. Therefore, execution of XSAVEC saving the AMX state into memory will
cause the xstate_bv[18] cleared in xheader. However, the xcomp_bv[18] will
remain set. Fix the error in comment. Also, update xsavec() to XSAVEC
because xcomp_bv[18] is set due to the instruction, not the function.
Finally, use XTILEDATA instead 'bit 18' in comments.
