futex: Correct futex_q woken state commentary
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Use kernel-doc format to describe struct futex_q.

Correct the wakeup definition to eliminate the statement about
waking the waiter between the plist_del() and the q->lock_ptr = 0.

Note in the comment that PI futexes have a different definition of
the woken state.

* PI futexes are typically woken before they are removed from the hash list via
