Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] rcu/tree: Clarify comments about FQS loop reporting quiescent states

At least since v4.19, the FQS loop no longer reports quiescent states
unless it is a dire situation where an offlined CPU failed to report
a quiescent state. Let us clarify the comment in rcu_gp_init() inorder
to keep the comment current.
