[PATCH v3 tip/core/rcu 15/18] rcu: Fix comment in rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads()

It used to be that the rcuo callback-offload kthreads were spawned
in rcu_organize_nocb_kthreads(), and the comment before the "for"
loop says as much. However, this spawning has long since moved to
the CPU-hotplug code, so this commit fixes this comment.
