[POWERPC] spu sched: update some comments
Give spu_yield a kerneldoc comment and remove the old comment documenting spu_activate, spu_deactive and spu_yield as all of them now have descriptive kerneldoc comments of their own. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann <arnd.bergmann@de.ibm.com>
