livepatch: Replace synchronize_sched() with synchronize_rcu()
Now that synchronize_rcu() waits for preempt-disable regions of code as well as RCU read-side critical sections, synchronize_sched() can be replaced by synchronize_rcu(). This commit therefore makes this change, even though it is but a comment. Signed-off-by: Paul E. McKenney <paulmck@linux.ibm.com>
