Subject: Re: [PATCH v3] futex: Fix a faulty comment.

Hi Jangwoong,

Thank you for your new version.

No full stop at the end of commit message. I would write as follow:

"futex: Clarify comment at futex_wait_multiple_setup()"

The changelog is usually place bellow the `---`, so it won't made in the
