pstore: Improve and update some comments and status output
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
