[PATCH] sched: core: Fix comment regarding nr_iowait_cpu() and get_iowait_load()

[Rafael J. Wysocki]

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

The comment related to nr_iowait_cpu() and get_iowait_load() confuses
cpufreq with cpuidle and is not very useful for this reason, so fix it.

Fixes: e33a9bba85a8 "sched/core: move IO scheduling accounting from io_schedule_timeout() into scheduler"
