[for-next][PATCH 01/13] tracepoints: Fix documentation of RCU lockdep checks

[Steven Rostedt <rostedt@goodmis.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: 0001-tracepoints-Fix-documentation-of-RCU-lockdep-checks.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 1771 bytes --]

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

The documentation on top of __DECLARE_TRACE() does not match its
implementation since the condition check has been added to the
RCU lockdep checks. Update the documentation to match its
implementation.
