#1346202 — [PATCH V2 5/5] x86/mce/AMD: Add comments for easier understanding

In an attempt to aid in understand of what threshold_block
structure holds, assing comments to describe the members here.
Also, trimming comments around threshold_restart_bank()
and updating copyright info.

No functional change is introduced.
