Hi,

Feel free to shorten the log message if this is in excess for the removal
of a single line... I just wanted to provide the context for the change.

Subject: [PATCH] sched: update comment for move_task_off_dead_cpu

This commit:

commit f7b4cddcc5aca03e80e357360c9424dfba5056c2
Author: Oleg Nesterov <oleg@tv-sign.ru>
Date:   Tue Oct 16 23:30:56 2007 -0700

    do CPU_DEAD migrating under read_lock(tasklist) instead of write_lock_irq(ta

    Currently move_task_off_dead_cpu() is called under
    write_lock_irq(tasklist).  This means it can't use task_lock() which is
    needed to improve migrating to take task's ->cpuset into account.

    Change the code to call move_task_off_dead_cpu() with irqs enabled, and
    change migrate_live_tasks() to use read_lock(tasklist).

...forgot to update the comment in front of move_task_off_dead_cpu.
