Subject[PATCH] RCU: Adjust the comment of function rcu_is_watching
Date
From: Zhouyi Zhou <zhouzhouyi@gmail.com>

Because RCU avoids interrupting idle CPUs, rcu_is_watching is used to
test whether or not it is currently legal to run RCU read-side
critical sections on this CPU.

First sentence and last sentence of current comment for rcu_is_watching
have opposite meaning of what is expected.
