Subject[PATCH v3 07/24] fs: Fix function docstring for posix_acl_update_mode()
Date
Sphinx emits a bunch of warnings due to undocumented function parameters
for posix_acl_update_mode(). We should document all the parameters.

Docstring is currently stale in places, it references a non-existent
function, inode_change_ok(). As noted in the documentation file
Documentation/filesystems/Porting this function is now called
setattr_prepare().

Currently docstring includes 'setgit bit', meaning is not totally
clear (to me), setattr_prepare() uses term 'SGID bit', let's use this
too.

Fix function docstring for posix_acl_update_mode():

- Document function parameters.
- Reference setattr_prepare() instead of inode_change_ok().
- Use 'SGID bit' instead of 'setgit bit'.
