The rtp->tasks_gp_seq grace-period sequence number is not a strict count, but rather the usual RCU sequence number with the lower few bits tracking per-grace-period state and the upper bits the count of grace periods since boot, give or take the initial value. This commit therefore adjusts this comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E.
