Subject[PATCH v3] smp: Fix the comments of smp_call_function_many()
Date
As commit a32a4d8a815c ("smp: Run functions concurrently in
smp_call_function_many_cond()") itself says:
"Keep other smp_call_function_many() semantic as it is
today for backward compatibility: the called function is not executed in
this case locally."

It's clear that, the function header comments of smp_call_function_many()
does not need to be changed.

So move the comment about 'scf_flags' to smp_call_function_many_cond(),
and restore the original comments of smp_call_function_many(). The
comments have been simplified slightly to avoid duplication. And the
description of other parameters of smp_call_function_many_cond() is added.
