Frederic Weisbecker 17a8945f36 clockevents: Improve clockevents_notify_released() comment ...

When a new clockevent device is added and replaces a previous device,
the latter is put into the released list. Then the released list is
added back.

This may look counter-intuitive but the reason is that released device
might be suitable for other uses. For example a released CPU regular
clockevent can be a better replacement for the current broadcast event.
Similarly a released broadcast clockevent can be a better replacement
for the current regular clockevent of a given CPU.

Improve comments stating about these subtleties.
