[PATCH tip/core/rcu 02/41] rcu: Fix rcu_{node,data} comments about gp_seq_needed

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Sun Nov 11 2018 - 14:48:12 EST


From: "Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Recent changes have removed the old ->gp_seq_needed field from the
rcu_state structure, which in turn obsoleted a couple of comments in
the rcu_node and rcu_data structures. This commit therefore updates
these comments accordingly.
