[PATCH 7/8] srcu: update the comments of synchronize_srcu_expedited()

From: Lai Jiangshan
Date: Thu Nov 29 2012 - 03:42:59 EST


The new synchronize_srcu_expedited() does not use synchronize_rcu_sched_expedited(),
it removed such lock dependence.

This patch only removes this small piece of the comments:
"it is illegal to call this function while holding any lock
that is acquired by a CPU-hotplug notifier"
