I do use '/*' here first, but got a checkpatch.pl warning:

  ./scripts/checkpatch.pl v8-0001-bpf-Add-update_socket_protocol-hook.patch 
  WARNING: networking block comments don't use an empty /* line, use /* Comment...
  #63: FILE: net/socket.c:1648:
  +/*
  + *	A hook for bpf progs to attach to and update socket protocol.

  total: 0 errors, 1 warnings, 0 checks, 59 lines checked

And I found that other comments in net/socket.c all begins with '/**'.
So I use '/**' here too.

Thanks,
