[PATCH RFC] ctype: update comments

From: Ilya V. Matveychikov
Date: Tue May 10 2016 - 10:44:04 EST


We have isspace() which may be used incorrectly as one might expect that
it has the same meaning as POSIX isspace(). Also, kernel has outdated
comment about of what is space and hard space exactely.
