futex: Correct futex_q woken state commentary
Use kernel-doc format to describe struct futex_q. Correct the wakeup definition to eliminate the statement about waking the waiter between the plist_del() and the q->lock_ptr = 0. Note in the comment that PI futexes have a different definition of the woken state.
