Subject: [PATCH 4/5] fs/fs_parse: Correct comments of
 fs_validate_description()

From: Zijun Hu <quic_zijuhu@...cinc.com>

For fs_validate_description(), its comments easily mislead reader that
the function will search array @desc for duplicated entries with name
specified by parameter @name, but @name is not used for search actually.

Fix by marking name as owner's name of these parameter specifications.
