[PATCH tip/core/rcu 3/7] rcu: Remove obsolete comment from __call_rcu()

From: Paul E. McKenney
Date: Mon Nov 14 2016 - 11:58:22 EST


The __call_rcu() comment about opportunistically noting grace period
beginnings and endings is obsolete. RCU still does such opportunistic
noting, but in __call_rcu_core() rather than __call_rcu(), and there
already is an appropriate comment in __call_rcu_core(). This commit
therefore removes the obsolete comment.
