[PATCH v4 2/5] rcu/tree: Clarify comments about FQS loop reporting quiescent states

["Joel Fernandes (Google)" <joel@joelfernandes.org>]

At least since v4.19, the FQS loop no longer reports quiescent states
for offline CPUs unless it is an emergency.

This commit therefore fixes the comment in rcu_gp_init() to match the
current code.
