sunrpc: clarify comments on rpc_make_runnable
commit 506026c3ec270e18402f0c9d33fee37482c23861 upstream. rpc_make_runnable is not generally called with the queue lock held, unless it's waking up a task that has been sitting on a waitqueue. This is safe when the task has not entered the FSM yet, but the comments don't really spell this out.
