Ok. I get it. Please ignore it. I just find another such comment related
with cpufreq_set_policy(). Please have a look.

Subject: [PATCH] Cpufreq/governor: Remove fossil comment

cpufreq_set_policy() has been changed to origin __cpufreq_set_policy()
and policy->lock has been converted to rewrite lock by commit 5a01f2.
So remove it.
