iopl.2: Updating description of permissions and disabling interrupts

Update description of permissions for port-mapped I/O set
per-thread and not per-process. Mention that iopl() can not
disable interrupts since Linux 5.5 anymore and is in general
deprecated and only provided for legacy X servers.
