Subject: [PATCH tip/core/rcu 02/12] rcu: Fix outdated hotplug-exclusion comment in rcu_gp_init()

In the past, RCU grace-period initialization excluded CPU-hotplug
operations, but this is no longer the case.  This commit therefore
removed an outdated comment in rcu_gp_init() claiming that these
are excluded.
