Subject: [PATCH 1/2] cgroup/cpuset: Update stale generate_sched_domains() comments

Commit fc560a26acce ("cpuset: replace cpuset->stack_list with
cpuset_for_each_descendant_pre()") removed the local list (q)
that was used to perform a top-down scan of all cpusets;
however, comments mentioning it were not updated.

Update comments to reflect current implementation.
