Subject[PATCH 4.14 077/159] x86/irq: Remove an old outdated comment about context tracking races
Date
4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

commit 6669a692605547892a026445e460bf233958bd7f upstream.

That race has been fixed and code cleaned up for a while now.
