Waiman Long da274853fe cpu: Remove obsolete comment from takedown_cpu()
takedown_cpu() has a comment about "all preempt/rcu users must observe
!cpu_active()" which is kind of meaningless in this function. This
comment was originally introduced by commit 6acce3ef84 ("sched: Remove
get_online_cpus() usage") when _cpu_down() was setting cpu_active_mask
and synchronize_rcu()/synchronize_sched() were added after that.

Later commit 40190a78f8 ("sched/hotplug: Convert cpu_[in]active
notifiers to state machine") added a new CPUHP_AP_ACTIVE hotplug
state to set/clear cpu_active_mask. The following commit b2454caa89
("sched/hotplug: Move sync_rcu to be with set_cpu_active(false)")
move the synchronize_*() calls to sched_cpu_deactivate() associated
with the new hotplug state, but left the comment behind.

Remove this comment as it is no longer relevant in takedown_cpu().

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
