From: "Paul E. McKenney" <paul.mckenney@linaro.org>
Commit 1217ed1b (rcu: permit rcu_read_unlock() to be called while holding runqueue locks) made rcu_initiate_boost() restore irq state when releasing the rcu_node structure's ->lock, but failed to update the header comment accordingly. This commit therefore brings the header comment up to date.
