    locking/atomic: atomic: remove stale comments · 2609a195
    Mark Rutland authored
    The commentary in asm-generic/atomic.h is stale; let's bring it up-to
    date:
    
    * The block comment at the start of the file mentions this is only
      usable on UP systems, but is immediately followed by an SMP
      implementation using cmpxchg. Let's delete the misleading statement.
    
    * A comment near the end of the file was originally at the top of the
      file, but over time rework has shuffled it near the end, and it's long
      been superceded by the block comment at the top of the file. Let's
      remove it.
    
    * Since asm-generic/atomic.h isn't the canonical documentation for the
      atomic ops, and since the existing comments are not in kerneldoc
      format, we don't need to document the semantics of each operation here
      (and this would be better done in a centralised document). Let's
      remove these comments.
