Subject: bpf, xdp: Update devmap comments to reflect napi/rcu usage
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Patch-mainline: v5.6-rc1
Git-commit: 42a84a8cd0ff0cbff5a4595e1304c4567a30267d
References: bsc#1177028

Now that we rely on synchronize_rcu and call_rcu waiting to
exit perempt-disable regions (NAPI) lets update the comments
to reflect this.
