srcu: Update synchronize_srcu_expedited()'s comments
Because synchronize_srcu_expedited() no longer uses synchronize_rcu_sched_expedited(), synchronize_srcu_expedited() no longer indirectly acquires any CPU-hotplug-related locks. This commit therefore updates the comments accordingly. Signed-off-by: Lai Jiangshan <laijs@cn.fujitsu.com> Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
