[PATCH] sched: core: Fix comment regarding nr_iowait_cpu() and get_iowait_load()

From: Rafael J. Wysocki
Date: Thu Oct 04 2018 - 05:08:20 EST


From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@xxxxxxxxx>

The comment related to nr_iowait_cpu() and get_iowait_load() confuses
cpufreq with cpuidle and is not very useful for this reason, so fix it.

Fixes: e33a9bba85a8 "sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler"
