[PATCH 3.19.y-ckt 154/164] tracepoints: Fix documentation of RCU lockdep checks

[Kamal Mostafa]

3.19.8-ckt11 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Mathieu Desnoyers <mathieu.desnoyers at efficios.com>

commit a15920bea0428cd22291637f6c72542b1843e65f upstream.

The documentation on top of __DECLARE_TRACE() does not match its
implementation since the condition check has been added to the
RCU lockdep checks. Update the documentation to match its
implementation.
