Subject: [PATCH] x86/boot: comments cleanup & indentation fix

No real code modification, just cleanup:
1. remove redundant comments which have already appeared above
2. comments improvement:
"aligned to a 2M boundary"
-->
"aligned up to CONFIG_PHYSICAL_ALIGN boundary"
3. typo fix: uncompression --> decompression
4. indentation fix in linker script: spaces -> tab

Finally I see why I have inaccurate understanding in 2. Sorry for the noise.
