This patch fixes a small typo in the CRC ITU-T polynom documentation.

The code comment says that the polynom is x^16 + x^12 + x^15 + 1, but the
correct polynom is x^16 + x^12 + x^5 + 1.

Quote from page 2 in the ITU-T V.41 specification:
   "2 Encoding and checking process

   The service bits and information bits, taken in conjunction, correspond
   to the coefficients of a message polynomial having terms from x^(n-1)
   (n = total number of bits in a block or sequence) down to x^16. This
   polynomial is divided, modulo 2, by the generating polynomial
   x^16 + x^12 + x^5 + 1. [...]"

The hex polynom 0x1021 and CRC code implementation are correct.

Changes:
   - Changed comment from /** to /* (the comment is not a kernel doc comment)

Roger, in future patches, you should do more like this under the --- line:

---
v4: <describe changes from v3 to v4>

v3: <describe changes from v2 to v3>

v2: <describe changes from v1 to v2>

I.e., keep a history of the version changes, not just the last change.
