[PATCH for 5.1 1/3] rseq: cleanup: Reflect removal of event counter in comments

From: Mathieu Desnoyers
Date: Tue Mar 05 2019 - 14:48:29 EST


The "event counter" was removed from rseq before it was merged upstream.
However, a few comments in the source code still refer to it. Adapt the
comments to match reality.
