[PATCH] cpuset: update cpuset_zones_allowed comment
 
Update the kernel/cpuset.c:cpuset_zone_allowed() comment.

The rule for when mm/page_alloc.c should call cpuset_zone_allowed()
was intended to be:

  Don't call cpuset_zone_allowed() if you can't sleep, unless you
  pass in the __GFP_HARDWALL flag set in gfp_flag, which disables
  the code that might scan up ancestor cpusets and sleep.

The explanation of this rule in the comment above cpuset_zone_allowed() was
stale, as a result of a restructuring of some __alloc_pages() code in
November 2005.

Rewrite that comment ...
