Subject[PATCH] kfifo: fix kfifo_init comment about power of 2 rounding
Date
Since, Commit ab9bb6318b09 ("Partially revert "kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc()
and kfifo_init()"") kfifo_init() rounds the preallocated buffer size
down to a power of 2 to determine the number of kfifo elements. The
documentation around the kfifo_init() macro was not updated to reflect
this change from the previous behavior that rounded up to a power of 2.

Fixes: ab9bb6318b09 ("Partially revert "kfifo: fix kfifo_alloc() and kfifo_init()"")
