[PATCH v3 7/8] smp: reword smp call IPI comment

[Valentin Schneider <vschneid@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Accessing the call_single_queue hasn't involved a spinlock since 2014:

  6897fc22ea01 ("kernel: use lockless list for smp_call_function_single")

The llist operations (namely cmpxchg() and xchg()) provide similar ordering
guarantees, update the comment to lessen confusion.
