[PATCH 5/8] pstore: Improve and update some comments and status output

[Kees Cook]

This improves and updates some comments:
 - dump handler comment out of sync from calling convention
 - fix kern-doc typo

and improves status output:
 - reminder that only kernel crash dumps are compressed
 - do not be silent about ECC infrastructure failures
