From: YI <afctgo@xxxxxxxxx>

Dear Trivial Patch Monkey, 

This commit fixes a small documentaion problem reported in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194593.

Some fields in the file /proc/$pid/stat represent time.
Their units are clock_t, not jiffies as stated in the documentation.
This commit fixes https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=194593.
