Subject[PATCH 5/8] sched: clarify commment for TS_POLLING
Date
From: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

TS_POLLING set tells the scheduler a task will poll
need_resched() to look for work.

TS_POLLING clear tells resched_task() and wake_up_idle_cpu()
that the remote CPU is sleeping in idle, and thus requires
a reschedule interrupt to wake them to notice work.

Update the description of TS_POLLING to reflect how it works.
"cleared when sleeping in idle, requiring reschedule interrupt"
