[PATCH v1] smp: Fix up and expand the smp_call_function_many() kerneldoc

[PATCH v1] smp: Fix up and expand the smp_call_function_many() kerneldoc

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

From: Rafael J. Wysocki <rafael.j.wysocki@intel.com>

The smp_call_function_many() kerneldoc comment got out of sync with the
function definition (bool parameter "wait" is incorrectly described as a
bitmask in it), so fix it up by copying the "wait" description from the
smp_call_function() kerneldoc and add information regarding the handling
of the local CPU to it.

Fixes: 49b3bd213a9f ("smp: Fix all kernel-doc warnings")

It's been a week and no feedback.

Well, in the further absence of any, I'll assume no concerns and just
queue this up.

Sorry, was distracted. No objections from my side. Did you queue it
already?
