ACPI / tables: improve comments regarding acpi_parse_entries_array()

Browse source 
I found the description of the table_size argument to the function
acpi_parse_entries_array() unclear and ambiguous.  This is a minor
documentation change to improve that description so I don't misuse
the argument again in the future, and it is hopefully clearer to
other future users.
