s/locality/i/

We don't use long names for loop indices generally.

This is somewhat useless comment.

E.g. this would be way more useful:

	/*
	 * Intel TXT starts with locality 2 active. Therefore,
	 * localities cannot be assumed to be closed on startup.
	 */

Not documented.

Thanks for the fix.
