John Stultz 8e56f33f84 clocksource: Improve comment explaining clocks_calc_max_nsecs()'s 50% safety margin ...

Ingo noted that the description of clocks_calc_max_nsecs()'s
50% safety margin was somewhat circular. So this patch tries
to improve the comment to better explain what we mean by the
50% safety margin and why we need it.
