Joel Fernandes (Google) 67050837ec srcu: Improve comments about acceleration leak
The comments added in commit 1ef990c4b36b ("srcu: No need to
advance/accelerate if no callback enqueued") are a bit confusing.
The comments are describing a scenario for code that was moved and is
no longer the way it was (snapshot after advancing). Improve the code
comments to reflect this and also document why acceleration can never
fail.
