[PATCH 05/22] fsnotify: Update comments

[Jan Kara <jack@suse.cz>]

Add a comment that lifetime of a notification mark is protected by SRCU
and remove a comment about clearing of marks attached to the inode. It
is stale and more uptodate version is at fsnotify_destroy_marks() which
is the function handling this case.
